The Daily Stoic - Think About How Lucky You Are

Episode Date: September 2, 2020

"Marcus Aurelius was wealthy on a scale you cannot even imagine. Seneca too. These were men with enormous fortunes… and control of imperial power. They controlled life and death. They had fame beyond fame. And yet, you are far more blessed and fortunate than they are."Ryan describes how lucky we all are to live in this day and age in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.***If you enjoyed this week’s podcast, we’d love for you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Sena Ketu, these were men with enormous fortunes and control of imperial power, the controlled life and death. They had fame beyond fame. And yet, you are far more blessed and fortunate than they are. If Marcus Aurelius wanted to read a book at night, think of all the energy and effort that would have been required to fulfill his wish. Slaves would have to be called,

torches lit and held, if it was cold outside, think of what was required to keep him warm. If Seneca wanted to travel, he had few options and most of them involved serious risk from pirates to shipwrecks and disease. You, you get light by flipping the switch. You can hop in your car, you can zip up a hoodie or pull on some socks, two minor engineering marvels that may rival the great Roman aqueducts. Compare the pandemic of 2020 to the Antonin plague, would you rather be poor today or wealthy in Rome 2000 years ago? Right, because you are immensely lucky. You have things that wealth and power and fame would not even have dreamed of buying in the ancient world. You have security, you have comfort,

you have access and knowledge that the most brilliant doctors of antiquity would have genuinely seen as magic. It is good to remember this. We are incredibly lucky. We should be grateful today and every day. Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast on iTunes or your favorite podcast app.
