Our emotions can blind us.
So the Stokes were trying to put those emotions to the side for a second and see what we're really dealing with to see it as clearly and as objectively as possible.
But but they still love they still get excited.
They still get afraid.
They still have the full spectrum of human emotions.
They just try not to be blinded by those emotions, particularly when we're making tough decisions.
Sure.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
You know, one of the things the Stoics say is that the greatest empire, right?
Like Robert's books are like how to build an empire.
That's what he's talking about.
But the Stoics would say that the greatest empire is command of yourself.
How many people are extremely powerful, extremely wealthy, extremely famous, but they're not in control of their own lives.
They're not in control of their moods.
They're not in control of their desires.
They're not in control of themselves, period.
And so for the Stoics, sure, they wanted to be important and significant and achieve things, but they tried to conquer themselves first.
And I think that's a really important part of the philosophy that you notice there for sure.
Well, look, the Stoics are saying that everything is an opportunity to practice virtue.
