Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast. Designed to help bring those four key stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom. Into the real world. Imagine Cato's despair as Caesar proved unstoppable. Imagine Seneca and Thrassia and Epictetus' Nero spun out of control.
Imagine Marcus as the triple threats of war and plague and flood converged. It must have felt as it has for many of us that the world was caving in. That it was hopeless, that it was unfair. It was only Going to get worse.
But we should remember that when everything falls apart, there is something we can always depend on. And that Is philosophy. William Alexander Percy, who survived combat in World War One and the death of his father and brother to suicide and the Great flood of nineteen twenty seven would say of Stoicism.
