Welcome to the Daily stoic or each day. We read a short passage designed to help you cultivate the strength inside wisdom necessary for living good life each. One of these passages is based on the 2000 year old philosophy that is guided some of History's Greatest men and women for more. You can visit us daily stoic.com
Some folks. You just can't reach it would be wonderful. If everyone could agree on basic stuff. Like no you can't use racial slurs. No, you can't judge a person for their gender or their orientation. It'd be wonderful if nobody littered if they didn't blast music at 2 a.m. If we observe some standard rules about what was acceptable as far as behavior in public went it be wonderful. If everyone wore a mask and socially distance as much as possible until we kick the ass.
This pandemic that is killing hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. But obviously we are not there obviously not everyone can agree on these things the line from Cool Hand Luke stands Eternal some men. You just can't reach. It doesn't matter. How eloquent you are. How many times you explain and how right you are. It's true as Marcus Aurelius rights, you can talk until you're blue in the face, but they'll just keep on doing it because it world without selfish or
ignorant or unreachable people is impossible. And from time to time. We are going to bump into these people. Can you come to terms with that or are you going to let it drive you crazy? Is it going to make you better or can you be happy reaching the people you can reach happy standing on the common ground with the decent folks who are willing to gather with you there and who knows maybe eventually belatedly the others will come around and it's not in your control if they do or don't so you can't worry about it.
