Why this version

Most people who try Meditations quit before they finish it. Not because the ideas are wrong, because the 1862 English standing between you and them makes it feel like homework.

This is a modernized translation, built from the original public-domain text, staying close to Marcus's own voice: terse, self-directed, blunt. No inserted modern framing inside the translation itself.

Same Marcus Aurelius. Same meaning. The version you'll actually finish.
