Stoicism

I really enjoyed the podcast titled Stoicism.
I am no stoic. My favorite tidbit of Stoic knowledge is when the Roman Emperor Nero asked Seneca if he would remain stoic while killing himself. As a member of the clergy I find Frankl’s logotherapy to be a better fit than quotes of ancient or modern stoic’s. Frankl’s writings on love and suffering are powerful and intersect with my favorite modern theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

I will view your coaching with a new appreciation going forward.

-Sherb’s comment about knowing where other people are at reminded me of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, “We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”
