Adopting Better Opinions & Perspectives; Connecting Opinions & Character
Episode #270
Hello Friends,
It is, of course, a core Stoic idea that it is not situations that upset us but rather our opinion of them. This points to a very deep connection between opinion and character: one’s opinion dictates one’s character.
That doesn’t sound overly obvious. Isn’t an opinion just some arbitrary thing? And isn’t it outside of our control to some extent? In this episode, I discuss the connection between character, opinions, and perspective.
Stay Strong & Stoic,
Brandon
