“If a man knows not which port he sails, no wind is favorable.” – Seneca

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

But like the sailor in Seneca’s quip, without a clear destination or purpose, we can easily become adrift, tossed about by the currents of circumstance and chance. And just as a ship requires a destination to steer towards, so too do we need a sense of purpose and direction to guide our actions and decisions.
