A new month dawns. We hereby present some #RandomThoughts as we look forward to the privilege to serve:
PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
"This tradition of courage, the one we have studied here now for half a decade at Daily Stoic, is in danger. Cowardice of all types—political, corporate, artistic, cultural—is endemic. People are afraid to take risks. They’re afraid to follow their own path in life. They’re afraid to do what’s right. This is not good. It’s more than just social criticism. It is an urgent threat. “Must one point out,” the writer and Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn said, “that from ancient times a decline in courage has been considered the first symptom of the end?” It doesn’t need to be this way. Because courage isn’t rare like some natural resource—something that must be mined or refined. It’s there, within reach, within all of us; in fact, it is reaching out to us right now. Courage calls to each person differently, at different times, in different forms. But in every case it is, as they say, coming from inside the house. Will you answer? Can you be brave enough to try? I hope so."
—from "Will You Answer the Call?" (Listen)
