It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

Boethius must, like any good philosophically inclined person, stop trusting in anything that fortune can take away at once. You know there is no constancy in human affairs when a single swift hour can often bring a man to nothing. If you are in possession of yourself, you will possess something you would never wish to lose and something fortune could never take away. Happiness cannot consist in things governed by chance. Boethius must retreat to what the Stoic philosophers called his inner citadel, a minimal self immune from the cruelty of fortune. Lady Philosophy stresses that a different sort of happiness can be found by focusing on all that fortune can never make one lose, specifically one's powers of reasoning, which give one access to the beauty, mystery and complexity of the universe. True philosophers rise above their immediate circumstances, become indifferent to their own fate and identify with the vast forces of history and nature. It is a measure of the relevance of Boethius' message that we today so firmly identify happiness with two areas that lie entirely in the hands of fortune, romantic love and career success.
