Episode notes
Socrates asked a young man to list the qualities he was looking for in an ideal friend. Socrates then turned the whole discussion around by asking him how many of those qualities he possessed himself. They both concluded that the youth was approaching things back to front, and that he should invest more time and energy in making himself into the sort of person others would naturally wish to have as their friend. Remember that stoicism is a philosophy, not a religion.
