243. Dining with a tyrant, are you?

from Stoic Meditations · host Massimo Pigliucci

Seneca gives us another Stoic "paradox": it may be better to be tortured than to sit at the dinner table. Well, not normally, but surely if you are being tortured to protect innocent lives, or sit at dinner with a tyrant. It all depends on context.
