No Shame in a Soldier Asking for Help (Aurelius – Meditations 7:7)

Synopsis: If you’re looking for new ideas and insights on Stoicism and Judaism, then MAYBE this episode isn’t for you. I stumbled upon these words of Marcus Aurelius which resonated with me with regards to the dilemma I find myself in. Now that Lomdeha is officially over, I need to decide the best way to make up for that loss of income. I found the multifaceted analogy provided by Aurelius and Epictetus to be helpful for thinking about this crossroads at which I find myself, and I ended up using this episode to think out loud. If Aurelius used his Meditations for this purpose, then I can certainly use my podcast that way!
