The Daily Stoic · The Marcus Aurelius Quote Tom Junod Can’t Forget · 5 Aug 2026 podcast

But he's talking to you.

Yes.

And he's talking to you and he's making sense.

And so here's the other thing that I went towards.

So he is talking about... He's talking about...

and he's talking about how to live as a human in the face of death in the years where Christianity is being developed and coming up with a very, very different answer.

So Aurelius is basically saying, okay, so death is simply a fact of life, and to accept that changes everything.

It's natural.

Yeah.

And it's part of the natural world.

It's no less natural than birth.

And it's part of you.

Yeah.

Whereas you have Christianity on the other side saying—

To me, what is the greatest philosophical mistake in the history of humanity, which is the wages of sin or death.

I think that is a mistake.

And I think it's actually a deadly mistake.

And upon that deadly mistake is premised, to me, mankind's worst invention, its worst idea, which is hell.

OK, so that's the argument about that sentence of all the sentences in the book.

That is I've circled it three times.
