Meditations Four Nineteen and Twenty show two diverse concepts. Meditations Four nineteen looks at the foolishness of achieving and having continued fame. One is all in a flutter over his subsequent fame. Fame can burnout like a lamp that is snuffed out. Meditations Four Twenty takes a different approach where what is good in life needs no praise or extra attention. Does anything beautiful in life need more praise than what they actually are? In no case does what is praised become better or worse. You do not need the praise of others to find happiness. Happiness and living a full life can be found in what is before us.
