Enlightenments is a modern counterpart to Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Where Aurelius searched for order, this book confronts collapse and finds meaning in paradox. Each aphorism wrestles with entropy, death, love, time, society, and the self, cutting through illusion with ruthless honesty. Like Meditations, it is personal yet universal, a private dialogue that echoes outward. But instead of calm reflection, it speaks from within the storm, showing that truth is brutal, rebirth is rupture, and paradox is the only language of reality.
