Welcome to the Daily Stoke Podcast, where each day we bring you a passage of ancient

wisdom designed to help you find strength, insight, and wisdom every day life.

Each one of these passages is based on the 2000 year old philosophy that has guided some

of history's greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at DailyStoke.com.

What have you done? It's not hard to notice when we study the lives of the Stokes, which

you should, how often the Stokes were in the room when it happened. Cato was there, fighting

against Julius Caesar when Rome came out of its second civil war, Athena Doris, and

Arius Dittamus were there tutoring the new emperor. Thrasia led the resistance against

Nero Rousticus is the one who introduced Marcus Aurelius to the writings of Epictetus. The

Stokes were there for history being made. They were active. They were in the game.

The last year and a half has also been a series of events of historic proportions without

a doubt. Just as you asked your grandparents about the war or the Great Depression, your

grandchildren will ask you about this pandemic. What was it like? Was it scary? Did you

know anyone that died? They will want to know something else too. They will want to know

what you did. Just as you wanted to hear about your grandfather landing at Normandy or

your grandmother working as a nurse or in a munitions factory, just as you wanted to know

where your parents were during the civil rights movement. If they stood against apartheid

or what part they played in whatever events visited their lives. Maybe you're a front line

worker or a scientific researcher or you work for a local food bank. Maybe you're in

the army reserves and you got called up to active duty. In which case you have a good answer.
