I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

We all have a strong fortress inside. It is not external factors that breach the fortress it’s our own internal thoughts and feelings. The stoic concept of control applies here. We can’t control the external factors that affect our walls. We can control our inner thoughts and choices. Those the only way the fortress is breached is by our thoughts and choices. We are the ones to feel fear in the face of some external factor. The pandemic is a really good example. Fear has overtaken our society and that will unfortunately lead many people to darker times.
