Listen "Do You Know What Things Are Good And Evil?"
Episode Synopsis
This episode traces the Stoic lineage back to Socrates, whose probing questions revealed that health, wealth, and reputation are not inherently good or bad—their value lies in how we use them.From Xenophon’s dialogues to Cicero’s reflections, we see how wisdom became the touchstone for discerning what truly matters. Fortune’s gifts and losses come and go, but virtue remains unshakeable.The Stoic message endures: our real possessions are inward ones, the moral resources that no change of fate can ever take away.👇 👇 👇📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENTCheck out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack:☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: A Prayer to Naturehttps://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-a-prayer Hosted on Acast.
