Evil will always triumph when good men do nothing. That’s the theme of this episode’s reading and discussions. There are numerous examples of evil incidents having the time and space to manifest (and multiply) when good people, who don’t do evil or bad acts, choose not to act to prevent the wrongdoing.
Watch as Charles and I discuss why we think good people like ourselves don’t take action when faced with a situation we know is bad.

The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus.
Every day of the year you’ll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you’ll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
The Daily Stoic features quotes and translations of Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius in a daily read format. Each page has a reading for that day of the calendar. Ryan shares his own thoughts and helps to better explain the quote and how it makes sense to us readers today.
