Podcast Summary
Stoicism, keeping going: Ancient philosophers like Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Rutilius Rufus continued to live fully despite personal tragedies and adversities, emphasizing the importance of stoicism to keep going, do your best, and fulfill duties even in unbearable circumstances.
Learning from the Daily Stoic Podcast is that stoicism is about keeping going despite life's challenges and hardships. The ancient philosophers, such as Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Rutilius Rufus, faced personal tragedies and adversities, but they didn't let their emotions stop them from living their lives to the fullest. They continued to write, work, and serve others, even when they were heartbroken, angry, or in pain. As Taylor Swift sings, "You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart." This is the essence of stoicism – to keep going, do your best, and fulfill your duties, even when life seems unbearable.
