Summary
You could build castles out of the bricks they threw at Cato. But Cato didn’t need to build castles with those bricks because he had something better - an inner citadel.
Ask DS:
Looking at Cato’s life, does he stick to his plan of justice too much sometimes?
If Ryan could ask Marcus Aurelius one question, what would it be?
What are Ryan's tips or tricks to know if you’re hitting the golden mean?
Why is justice a common thread between Friedrich Nietzsche’s work and the Stoics?
