Deep dives
Understanding Others Without Judgment
Stoics emphasize the importance of carefully listening to understand others without passing judgment. Marcus Aurelius, as the emperor of Rome, made efforts to see things from the perspectives of those under his rule before making judgments. By acknowledging that humans are rational beings, Stoics believe in trying to comprehend seemingly irrational behavior to make more compassionate and informed decisions. This practice of empathetic understanding not only fosters compassion but also aligns with the Stoic belief in creating harmony within communities.
