Manage episode 483071040 series 3519277
Welcome to The Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.
The Stoic Quotes series.
In the Stoic quotes series, we take a look at what the Stoics said and uncover the wisdom they left behind. We look at the famous writings from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and more.
In this episode, we look at a quote by Marcus Aurelius from Meditations, Book 6.6:
“The best revenge is not to be like that.”
What do we do when someone wrongs us? For Marcus Aurelius, the answer isn’t retaliation—it’s transformation. In this reflection, we explore the Stoic view on revenge, how to rise above resentment, and what it means to preserve your character when others lose theirs.
