We need this more than ever. Children need to be taught this in school rather than to value weakness, anger, and offense.

[@bobhope5114]

They will never allow the "little people" to be empowered. Not now...not ever.

[@alainaaugust1932]

Such teaching has begun. Schools increasingly teach Social and Emotional Learning founded on the principles of Emotional Intelligence, or EI. The understandings of Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus are restated in modern lessons on emotional Intelligence. An example is the concept of self-talk which follows Epictetus’ statement: “Man is not disturbed by events but by the view he takes of them.”

[@floyddean-dp4wi]

mercy upon the afflicter is cruelty to the innocent, to be called evil for doing good is a blessing.

[@brydenmorton4634]

You are "the Morgan Freeman of philosophical narration..." thank you for recording these works. Your voice is like sweet audible chocolate to my ears and it makes it incredibly easy to focus on the messages.

[@janellegeronimo5281]

Thanks Robin! It is such a joy knowing there are still good people who live in Stoicism and educate people

[@Caesar_1415]

Training myself to grow and better manage my anger, thank you so much for the time to make these videos.

[@ly2268]

I’m disappointed in myself, today I let anger get the better of me. I need to reflect and learn from this.

[@corygurnett6996]

Vox stoica thanks again for you labors of passion. I have ordered a bunch of Senecas works thanks to you. I'm sure you have inspired alot of people just excellent and forever grateful.

“Greatness rests upon goodness.” Love that

[@IrishGrenade187]

Wonderful. More would benefit from these timeless words if we implemented them in public schools. These brilliant minds are always glossed over and given brief attention. Thank you, sir!

[@pazz1038]

There's a reason for that, though Socrates strictly speaking was pre the stoic era he was teaching the young people groundings in philosophy and free thought, and what did he get for it? Executed. Has not changed since, its not in the interests of the powerful to make a well informed populous.

[@SeekingVirtueA]

Thank you very much! A great service. I am striving to overcome anger and be a better father and man.

[@kevlarkevin1840]

Timeless knowledge. Thank you!

[@DarkManBeatzUrFace]

I have anger issues and it's very easy for me to get angry and stressed so I'm trying to control it

[@youngpro20]

[@thatonepianoguy_]

Marcus Aurelius brought me to Stoicism, Epictetus laid my foundations, and Seneca kept me reading….

I would have us be in synergies😏

[@brendanehlermann7347]

as a teutonic I feel slighted, but in control

[@dymphokwaro5421]

Priceless

[@kellydittus4772]

And when you have been wronged. And have taken time to calm . But the anger remains like a pillar because what has happened is wrong and you will not allow it to ever happen again. And that pillar will not budge until the truth is chiseled in its stone and everyone acknowledges it. Anger is only bad if you don't have the truth watching your back

[@spajas8092]

Right. Anger is only useful when it’s pure and righteous. The reasoning behind most anger is weak or non existent. Someone who’s been rightfully been driven to wrath is a completely different display than a madman

[@robertburnett5561]

Where today such wisdom?

[@NichtNameee]

Right there

[@rckli]

Yoooo wtf why was this video thumbs down? 😂 Fkn KZbin programming is shite - years ago, it also unsubscribed from this channel …I had to find it and sub to it again 😅

[@notusum1else]

I love this channel🤘🏼👍🏼

[@charleshurstreinvention3959]

Nice. And you do have to learn how to control anger. Becoming angry when needed is normal. But as I tell my own subscribers--staying in that state is not. Suffering from chronic anger causes a few problems. First it impedes your progress. By draining your energy that you should be using to advance yourself. Ever been angry all day at work then skipped that night workout? That's probably why. But it also isn't physically healthy and can lead to long term effects on the heart and doctors now think future cancer as well. Not to mention high blood pressure. There are two simple methods I tell my own people how to control anger. One you have with you--your breathing. You can breathe in a meditative state while walking down the street. You picture a coil slowly unwinding as if you were breathing through your stomach. Slow and in and out. Wind the coil and let it go slowly. It calms you down and if you do it every few hours for maybe ten reps then it keeps you calm. Second--reflect on what you are growing angry about. Is it really going to affect you even four months from now? You'll find many times it won't. So I would use these techniques to minimize anger so you can only progress forward. Hope that helps someone out there---Charles

[@emmetcraig828]

What did Thomas Acquainis say?!

[@BarryArthur]

"Let them hate, provided they fear me." I would not even be loved on such terms. Right, God?

[@tsoukallos]

Too many ads!

[@VoxStoica]

Thanks for letting me know. Ads on older videos are often auto inserted and sometimes they go a bit overboard. I've just deleted 90% of them.

[@worstHorse12397]

annoying commercials

[@JavierBonillaC]

Evolutionary anthropology has explained everything so much better in the last 20 years than philosophy in 2000

[@simeonsimeonov5693]

It basically repeats what Seneca is saying here... only under the idea it's objective truth, whereas Seneca's teachings could be classified as opinion. And despite these two amazing sources people still don't really get it.

[@MyRealName148]

We have steadily devolved over the last 20 years. Nothing now is as needed as a review of humanity. Computers don't make people better, they expose man's fickle, shallow and selfish nature.

[@boogdanoof9451]

When you as a man are told how to breathe, think and feel, and your bank account is raped in the name of "global warming" and "equal rights" (meaning more socialism and feelings to rule your life) you will understand anger even better. For then it will not only be justifiable to have anger. You will be mad if you don't.
