You Can Find Peace

“There’s a chapter in Epictetus’ Discourses entirely about forlornness (or solitude, depending on the translation), the state where one feels miserably and helplessly lonely. His aim is to make a careful distinction. Lonely and alone are not synonymous. One can be alone, in their own company, and feel entirely connected and at peace with the world, just as one can be in a crowd and feel miserably lonely. Similarly, Epictetus adds, the world can be at war while one is at peace, just as the world can be at peace while one is at war.”Ryan discusses how we can always choose our response, even in the most dire of circumstances, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.The Daily Stoic is $1.99 as an ebook right now (UK discounted, too)!***If you enjoyed this week’s podcast, we’d love for you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
