Stoic Thought of the Day — Day 161


No person has the power to possess everything they want. Does that sound familiar? It should. We are being led by a man that thinks having whatever he wants is reasonable. The ancient Romans knew this was not a tenable reality. Today we call that behavior malignant narcissism. The desire to obtain obscene wealth and power is possibly the most tragic of human flaws.
