How do we rid the world of evil?

Thu, 04 Feb 2021 14:00:00 +0000

When someone wrongs you, ask yourself: What made him do it? Once you understand his concept of good and evil, you'll feel sorry for him and cease to either be amazed or angry.

But if you do not share his ideas of good and evil, then you should find it even easier to overlook the wrongs of someone who is confused and in a moral muddle. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestoicsage/support
