Mile 4: Seneca's Greatest Gift to Humankind.
from 93 Miles: A Modern Survival Guide with Darius M. Riddick · host Darius M. Riddick
The famous philosopher Seneca wrote “To bear trials with a calm mind robs misfortune of its strength and burden.” “No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself.” If we can begin to extract what this age-old saying means, then we can begin to live a life that proves itself. One of the ways this is done is through the experience, interpretation and application of pain. In this episode, we discuss why pain is so important to Human condition and why some use it to succeed and other's are defeated.
