For any man to be the means of his own destruction, we should wait, say they, for the end decreed by nature. Humanity is well situated because no man is unhappy except by his own fault.
What does it mean to live and die with dignity? In this thought-provoking episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, host Justin Vacula dives into the Stoic philosophy's nuanced take on death with dignity. Drawing from the timeless wisdom of Seneca, Justin explores how to live a noble life, where quality trumps quantity.
He delves into the idea that while life is fleeting and unpredictable, we should make the most of our time and be prepared for its end when reason dictates. The episode also touches on the sensitive topic of suicide, emphasizing that Stoic writers only consider it in special circumstances after careful deliberation. Justin sheds light on how Stoic teachings encourage us to find meaning, endure suffering, and maintain hope, even in the face of life's greatest challenges.
If you're looking for guidance on how to approach life and death with a sense of purpose and dignity, this episode offers valuable insights grounded in ancient wisdom.
