Description
How do you deal with "bad" events that happen to you in life with tranquility and poise?
That's what we seek to answer in our new season of episodes. This is the first in our Stoic fundamentals series where for the next few months we will tackle a fundamental concept of Stoicism and then give you some Stoic tools to master it.
Today we talk about Judgement which is a statement about the nature of something, whether it is good or bad, and how we actually have more of a choice about our responses to "bad" events than we might think. That response starts with not thinking about these events as "bad", but instead just as events.
We discuss some of the most well known Stoic quotes including the zinger: “It is not events that disturb people, it is their judgements concerning them.“
