Brutus' Diary

Today, I have a lot on my mind, I don't know what to think of Caesar and his power and position anymore, Cassius had some good points, if Caesar is so powerful, and so much better than us, why couldn't he walk by himself in the flood? why did Cassius have to carry him? I wouldn't have been able to make it either, maybe Cassius is right... Maybe Caesar and we men are no different, he should have been able to make it if hes so powerful and greater. I value Cassius' opinion, but I have my own as well, is Cassius right though? am I wrong? I used to think because Caesar is pretty much king, we should all give me all of our respect, he has much more power then us, we should worship him, but now Cassius is saying that Caesar is just putting it in our heads, making us believe that. Caesar really doesn't deserve the worshiping, and respect we give him, he is just another man like us, he just has a label that is "higher up". I love Caesar, but I love Rome more, I want what is best for my country, can Caesar really give that to us? He shows weakness, he has the falling sickness; he can't lead us in that state, I'm not sure if Caesar should be crowned, he is no different from me, should I be the king then? No.
