Crossing the Rubicon? This is something that attributed to Julius Caesar as he prepared to break the law.
This is what is written about the man, the law, and the Rubicon:
The Rubicon was a shallow stream in northern Italy. In 49 BC, it marked the boundary between Julius Caesar's assigned province of Gaul and Italy proper.
Roman law strictly forbade any general from leading an army across the river into Italy. Doing so was considered an act of treason and an automatic declaration of war.
On January 11, 49 BC, Julius Caesar chose to lead his troops across the river, famously saying "the die is cast", which started a massive civil war and led to the fall of the Roman Republic.
This was an amazing time in history which led to a series of events that changed the world.
"Light on flow, heavy on history."
Application to modern history:
To make an irreversible decision that commits one to a course
of action.
To make a bold, irreversible decision that determines your next steps.
To pass the point of no return with no chance of retreat.
sourceSo then, how does this apply to you? To most people? If so, where has this taken you? Or someone you know?
Why did I write on this event in history? Good question. Why?
