A Year of Living Stoically - January 31, 2026



Stoic Thought of the Day — Day 112


There are two ways to live.

One way to live is to constantly be questioning. First accepting ideas then rejecting them for another.

That is thinking like the wind.

Another way to live is to employ our judgement. When we rely on the opinion of others we are at the mercy of others. When we rely on our judgement we can achieve tranquility.

That is thinking with judgement.

The employment of judgement must be based on sound principles. Sound principles means using our welfare, the welfare of others, and the knowledge of verified experts as our guide.
