Marcus Aurelius, on "when thou art troubled..."
"When thou art troubled about anything, thou hast forgotten this, that all things happen according to the universal nature; and forgotten this, that a man's wrongful act is nothing to thee; and further thou hast forgotten this, that everything which happens, always happened so and will happen so, and now happens so everywhere; forgotten this too, how close is the kinship between a man and the whole human race, for it is a community, not of a little blood or seed, but of intelligence.
And thou hast forgotten this too, that every man's intelligence is a god, and is an efflux of the deity; and forgotten this, that nothing is a man's own, but that his child and his body and his very soul came from the deity; forgotten this, that everything is opinion; and lastly thou hast forgotten that every man lives the present time only, and loses only this."
Marcus Aurelius (1862). The Meditations. [Translated by G. Long.]

"After Lenin's death, his brain was sent to Berlin, to the Institute of Neurobiology, for research aimed at proving his genius based on the anatomical structure of his brain. Unfortunately for the communists, his brain initially ended up in the hands of a regular, non-communist scientist, Vogt. He found a significant number of pyramidal cortical structures in Lenin's brain.
Professor Spielmeyer, in the German Encyclopedia of Mental Illnesses, claims that such a high quantity of pyramidal structures in the brain indicates a delay in intellectual development. However, Soviet scientists concluded that these cells typically indicate a person's genius. Conversely, in the broader scientific community, such large neurons and cells are often associated with mental illnesses like schizophrenia.
Polish psychiatrist Andrzej Lobachewski believes that Lenin had a paranoid personality due to hypothalamic damage to his brain. This contributed to traits such as cruelty, an inability to admit wrongdoing, and pathological self-importance.
When discussing Lenin's syphilis, it's commonly noted that he likely contracted it in his later years, possibly from Inessa Armand, and that this was one of the reasons leading to his death. However, there are documents indicating that Lenin was treated for syphilis as early as 25. At that time, patients were treated with Salvarsan, and while his treatment was initially successful, it was halted due to side effects. It’s possible that untreated syphilis accompanied Lenin throughout his life and influenced his personality and character. For instance, extreme irritability and volatility are typical with infections caused by spirochetes.
Another external factor shaping Lenin as a radical and extreme revolutionary was Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The execution of his older brother, Alexander Ulyanov, whom he loved, caused Vladimir significant psychological trauma and closed off his prospects for a career in government service. The Ulyanov family was well-off, belonging to a slightly liberal aristocracy. Lenin's father was a religious man who admired Tsar Alexander II and his reforms, providing a good foundation for a successful career.
Alexander aligned himself with a revolutionary group out of a desire to fit in, following his peers. In contrast, Vladimir was propelled towards radicalism by his brother's execution, leading to an obsession with revenge and hatred for autocratic Russia. Prior to this, he took pride in his noble lineage, signing documents as "Vladimir Ulyanov, hereditary noble."
During the famine of 1891, Vladimir Ulyanov boldly filed a legal complaint against neighboring peasants for damages to his ancestral estate. Therefore, it wasn't a concern for the working class that drove Lenin into extreme leftist politics, but rather psychological issues and hatred for his country.
Here are three key components of Lenin the revolutionary: paranoid schizophrenia, neurosyphilis, and PTSD."
