episode 1: WtP S24E1 | Happiness is not a goal
Hello and welcome to Series 24! Today I’m delighted to be back on the bike track with a brand new feature: 'Stoics on the Cycle Path', brought to you today by Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, on friendship.
“I would encourage you to discuss everything with a friend, but first of all, discuss the person themselves. When friendship has just begun, you must trust before friendship is formed, you must pass judgement. Most people pass the judgement after the friendship is formed, violating the rules instead of making him their friend after they have judged him. Contemplate for a long time, whether you shall grant a person your friendship, but when you have decided to allow it, welcome him or her with all your heart and soul.”
In this episode of your daily walking show, Walk the Pod, I take my podcast for a walk because I don't have a dog. Take 10 minutes out of your day to walk in nature, pay attention to what’s directly in front of you and think about how to be in the world. This is the first episode of Series 24 of Walk the Pod.
