“Either teach them better if it be in thy power; or if it be not, remember that for this use, to bear with them patiently, was mildness and goodness granted unto thee.“ – Marcus Aurelius

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

The concept of patience as a virtue is deeply rooted in religious and philosophical traditions. In Christianity, patience is considered one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit and is extolled as a virtue in the New Testament. The Stoic philosophers, too, emphasized the importance of patience in enduring life's hardships with equanimity and resilience. How can we implement this virtue in our modern lives?
