I gain a lot from meditating on the semantics.

Sure, but what I'm wondering why Latin is somehow better in this regard than English?

Latin is a simple, but complex language. I grew up learning ancient latin, so it helps with using those pretty 5 digit words that people who understand other languages tend to listen to. Plus, cyrillic is similar to both ancient latin and ancient greek. Basically, if I want something simple that won't take too much time and still be enriching, I would go to ancient latin over ancient greek.

Ok, but that doesn't answer why reading Meditations translated into Latin is better than reading it translated into English.
