"I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 96% how i react to it."
- Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (235-183 bce.)
(Africanus was added after he defeated Hannibal in Cathage)
Scipio Africanus was a general in the Second Punic War agasint Carthage and was the statesman of the Roman Republic. I think this quote is intresting, because I agree with it. I think it all depends on if you consider the way you have been rasied as life or a reaction to life because if you act in a way because you were rasied that way that would be a reaction to life, therefor the majority of your life would be reactions. However if the way you were raised was already a reaction to life... then everything you do would be considered life, if you know what i mean.
I couldnt get a picture of him but his bust is carved in black stone to represent the people of africa he destroyed the other picture that I did get to work was him in armour ready to fight
