Be careful with the company you keep

2019-11-1900:02:311

We should live with the quietest and easiest-tempered persons, not with anxious or with sullen ones: for our own habits are copied from those with whom we associate.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

Anger betrays what is best in humanity

2019-11-1800:02:37

Anger pays a penalty at the same moment that it exacts one: it forswears human feelings. The latter urge us to love, anger urges us to hatred: the latter bid us do good, anger bids us do harm.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

The difference between anger and other negative emotions

2019-11-1500:03:09

Other vices affect our judgment, anger affects our sanity. Its intensity is in no way regulated by its origin: for it rises to the greatest heights from the most trivial beginnings.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

The awful things we do when angered

2019-11-1400:02:28

Men, frantic with rage, call upon heaven to slay their children, to reduce themselves to poverty, and to ruin their houses, and yet declare that they are not either angry or insane.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

It takes two to have a fight

2019-11-1300:02:30

If anyone is angry with you, meet their anger by returning benefits for it: a quarrel which is only taken up on one side falls to the ground: it takes two people to fight.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

On revenge and retaliation

2019-11-1200:02:23

Revenge and retaliation are words which men use and even think to be righteous, yet they do not greatly differ from wrong-doing.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

Think of everything, expect everything

2019-11-1100:03:011

People think some things unjust because they ought not to suffer them, and some because they did not expect to suffer them: we think what is unexpected is beneath our deserts.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

Don't rush to judgment, give time to reason to do its work

2019-11-0800:02:36

Is it a good person who has wronged you? Do not believe it. Is it a bad one? Do not be surprised at this; by their sin they have already punished themselves.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

We have other people’s vices before our eyes, and our own behind our backs

2019-11-0700:02:51

Someone will be said to have spoken ill of you; think whether you did not first speak ill of them; think of how many persons you have yourself spoken ill.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

It is foolish to be angry at your computer

2019-11-0600:02:55

We are so foolish that we actually get angry at inanimate objects, who neither deserve nor feel our anger. But in fact, no one deserves our anger: not animals, not children, and not even adults.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stoicmeditations/support

I love these podcasts. I had to laugh, though, after the first listening, when I heard "Recorded with Anchor." I missheard Anchor and thought the word used was anger.

a fantastic way of getting huge chunks of advice/wisdom in short bursts. no need to get drowned in info that some audio books thrash out. just listen to 1 or 2 or 3 episodes a day, or none. it doesn't matter really, when you do listen again you'll have maximised 2 minutes of your life and widened your perception. Not sure about the recent addition of cheesy music though.

I like these short meditations but the sound balance between the content and the advert makes it difficult to listen to. I have to turn my volume up to hear the content, then skip or turn it down quickly before the ad comes on. I'd like to accept some suffering in life, but I can find stoic teaching podcasts with better sound quality so right now I prefer those other podcasts over this one.
