@DonJRobertson While I agree foreign actors have taken advantage of the U.S., I'm more concerned about the domestic actors that profit from the divisions.

#Stoicism emphasizes personal responsibility, so the political right seem to like that, but it also emphasizes social responsibility, which seems to appeal to the left. The Stoics don't think we should ever have separated our own interests from those of our community, though! ;)

[Daily Stoic @dailystoic]

"Who is your master? Anyone who has control over things upon which you've set your heart, or over things which you seek to avoid." Epictetus

[Donald J. Robertson @DonJRobertson]

“We ought to neither return wrong for wrong nor do evil to anyone, no matter what he may have done to us. Be careful though, Crito, that by agreeing with this you do not agree to something you do not believe. For I know there are few who believe this or ever will.” – Socrates

[Donald J. Robertson @DonJRobertson]

Marcus Aurelius says there are three sources of joy in #Stoicism, by which he means: 1. Love of, and rejoicing in, our own higher/true self - our capacity for reason/virtue, 2. Love of mankind and rejoicing in their capacity for virtue, 3. Love of the whole cosmos, amor fati.

[Donald J. Robertson @DonJRobertson]

What did the Stoics want us to learn from Socrates? "Now this was the first and chief peculiarity of Socrates, never to be irritated in argument, never to utter any thing abusive, any thing insulting, but to bear with abusive persons and to put an end to the quarrel." — Epictetus

If you have nothing to stir you up and rouse you to action, nothing which will test your resolution by its threats and hostilities; if you recline in unshaken comfort, it is not tranquillity; it is merely a flat calm.

"It is better to conquer our grief than to deceive it." Seneca

[The Stoic Fellowship @StoicFellowship]

“Whoever then understands what is good, can also know how to love; but he who cannot distinguish good from bad, and things which are neither good nor bad from both, can he possess the power of loving? To love, then, is only in the power of the wise.” - Seneca

[The Stoic Emperor @TheStoicEmperor]

Many seemingly complex achievements are simply the result of people getting the basics right with relentless consistency.
