🏛️ Stoic Quote

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. - Marcus Aurelius

In our age of information overload, it's crucial to remember that not everything we come across is the absolute truth. People have different viewpoints based on their experiences and biases. Before forming strong opinions, it's valuable to pause, reflect, and consider various perspectives.

The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

The lesson emphasizes the importance of seeking wisdom by acknowledging the limitations of our perceptions and being open to different perspectives. Proverbs 18:17 echoes this by highlighting the need to examine different viewpoints before forming judgments, reflecting the Stoic value of pursuing wisdom through a broad understanding of multiple viewpoints.
