June 27th Reading from The Daily Stoic (Round 2) - Adversity Reveals

"How does it help, my husband, to make misfortune heavier by complaining about it? This is more fit for a king - to seize your adversaries head on. The more precarious his situation, the more imminent his fall from power, the more firmly he should be resolved to stand and fight. It isn't manly to retreat from fortune."

~ Seneca, Oedipus, 80
