Philosophy tells Boethius to stop whining, and check his privilege. Boethius objects that the memory of past happiness is the bitterest portion of the lot of the unhappy. Philosophy shows that much is still left for which he may be thankful. None enjoy perfect satisfaction with their lot. But happiness depends not on anything which Fortune can give. It is to be sought within. — Analysis: self-sacrifice as a path to happiness; suffering and happiness; Aristotle contributes to the discussion on **virtue and Eudaimonia**. I do a reading of **Shakespeares Hamlet**. Bonus Content: **Jordan Peterson, Roger Scruton**, and the value of cultural literacy.

All the gifts of Fortune are external; they can never truly be our own. Man cannot find his good in worldly possessions. Riches bring anxiety and trouble. — Analysis: Aristotle, the Summum Bonum, and a summary of the false goods. A reading from **Hesiods Works and Days**, and a comparison to Rousseaus noble savage, and the “General Will” as a distortion of the Catholic Holy Spirit.
