A side note before I get into today's meditation:
I'm 2.5 weeks into working through the Daily Stoic, and I am now finding philosophy everywhere. I heard (yes, heard; I did not watch) a commercial for a TV show and the line was something to the effect of, "I treat my guys fairly, but not equally."
My immediate thought was "How can that occur? Fair but not equal." My thoughts then turned to whether fairness was equal to equality. My head is randomly going to places they would not necessarily have gone to before I started The Daily Stoic. I see some of the meditations all the time. In fact, tonight I had to sit through a healthy eating presentation on Zoom, and one of the lines on one of the slides was "Knowledge is power." I will never read or hear this line the same way ever again. I digress. On to today's meditation.
Today's meditation tells us that no matter where we are in life, whether it is good or bad, we will always have our freedom of choice.
The journal question:
Good or bad, high or low, do I still have choices?
Yes. When times are tough, we have the ability to make changes for the better. We need the courage to see them through. When times are great, we have the ability to make choices that will see us through any challenges and keep times great.
