What are the four virtues of stoicism?🤔#ryanholiday #thedailystoic #stoic #stoicism

Stoicism has 4 virtues. I'd love to have you explain the 4 virtues to everybody. So the 4 virtues of Stoicism are really the same 4 virtues in Christianity and a lot of different philosophical schools. It's courage, temperance, sometimes rendered as self-discipline or moderation, then justice and wisdom. And so obviously, these are virtues that are difficult to separate from each other, but are all kind of interrelated and yet somehow distinct. And so You know, what Marcus Aurelius is saying, the obstacle is the way, what he means is that, you know, you set out to do something, you know, you were trying to help someone, right? So that's the virtue of justice. Well, now all of a sudden you're besieged by people who are trying to prevent you from doing that. And now you need courage to push through that resistance. So when he's saying the obstacle is the way, what he really means is that everything is an opportunity to implement or execute one of those virtues.
