Today's Stoic Thought
“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be, be one.”Marcus Aurelius
In modern life, rather than debating endlessly about how to be a good person, we should actively embody virtue. For example, instead of discussing what it means to be a good friend, we can simply show up for our friends in times of need without hesitation or expectation of anything in return.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
James 1:22 encourages us to not just hear the word, but to also act upon it. This aligns with the idea of actively practicing virtues instead of just discussing them, showing courage in living out our beliefs.
