"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." ~ Marcus Aurelius 🙏😊
We are just amazed about those quotes and we put likes while scrolling on comments but we don't know how to practice them in real life

“When a loaf of bread, for instance, is in the oven, cracks appear in it here and there; and these flaws, though not intended in the baking, have a rightness of their own, and sharpen the appetite. Figs, again, at their ripest will also crack open. When olives are on the verge of falling, the very imminence of decay adds its peculiar beauty to the fruit. So, too, the drooping head of a cornstalk, the wrinkling skin when a lion scowls, the drip of foam from a boar’s jaws, and many more such sights, are far from beautiful if looked at by themselves; yet as the consequences of some other process of Nature, they make their own contribution to its charm and attractiveness."
That really is beautifully put
I like that it’s really not flowery language, it’s just a series of beautiful observations.
Amazing
That is how Ancient Greek was written.
@@vresnuil Yes, very true.
“Deaths smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back” Marcus Aurelius.
"Live your own life, for you will die your own death." Latin Proverb
"Smile for me now brother" delivered by Joaquin Phoenix but his brother died before his eyes in the gutter outside an LA night club. The world and life watching death in is horrible absoluteness.
@@truelife1004 what does that mean? "The world and life watching death in is horrible absoluteness"?
Honestly, this quote is metal as fuck.
That was not a MA quote. Just a Gladiator movie line.
"The Soul is Coloured by the dye of your thought" ~ Marcus Aurelius👌
Isn't that heraclitus?
That makes no sense at all
@@spacelemming4493 no. It's from Meditations [5:16]. But it's possible that Marcus quoted someone.
@@bobmusil1458 The quality of your thoughts determine what you experience and how you interpret it.
Your interpretations are literally your thoughts about everything that’s happening.
In Ancient Rome many people, especially well educated people, spoke Greek. Marcus Aurelius was certainly well educated, and was likely taught Greek from childhood. I’d guess he was pretty much bilingual, so it probably would have been no big deal for him to write a diary in Greek, especially the kind of material he was writing. However, WHAT he wrote is still astonishing nearly two thousand years later.
Being raised as an emperor he probably spoke many tongues and understood their dialects. Living in the time of the marvels of the arena was like a full movie production produced before his very eyes and he could also wonder beyond, behind the scenes seeing the lions snarl. I rarely loose the word amazing but his life had to be something near amazing indeed.
The ancient Greek language is still learned in some European countries, especially Latin, it is the origin of European thought.
The new testament books of the bible were being written in Greek at that time too, before they were gathered into the bible
shut up man, stop destroying beautiful things with stupid thoughts.
Didn't greeks migrate to the old and new Roman empires, just as Americans are mostly European ancestry? What was Rome before a Roman empire, it came from other empires, when it started, they didnt even have emperor's.
Just recently bought Meditations and read the passages he’s talking about the other day. He’s right. He had so much wisdom.

Green philosophy and Indian Spirituality. Absolutely gems
He was such a deep, profound thinker
Finally a short worth listening to.
I just read that passage literally 1 hour ago, from Meditations and then I randomly watch this. Synchronicity is strong today.
He also mentions the foam on a boars mouth, all those are processes of nature and beautiful when isolated and understood.
Love Marcus Aurelius! My father gave me the golden teachings of Marcus Aurelius when I was a child.
His commitment is undeniable. The man himself actually joined our podcast and has shown us a way into his thinking. The time capsule chamber is doing wonders!

I think I just fell in love a little bit.
Innumerable people are like this, but this guy was an emperor and got the chance to have himself valued
What it is, is that he had a wonderful youth full of guidance and triumph. He was able to cultivate himself into a much better man because he had a life of excellence. This is the key to a good life.
One reason why a lot of leaders at that time were poetic is that they were taught things like that growing up. Writing poems writing exposee was taught to them.
The break at the top of bread is by design by the baker when they put a slit on the top of the dough so that the expansion doesn't happen randomly all over the place.
This guy really makes me think fr shoutout to Marcus man rip a true real one
The most important philosophical writing in history was literally just the diary of an Emperor that was too busy fighting on the front lines to go philosophize.
Might be overstating things a bit. But certainly important.
So amazing to see Ryan on Joe’s show! I’ve been following Daily Stoic for a couple 2-3 years and the content has been transformational on my life and thinking.
What his last name?

His writings were beautiful.
*talks about bread* 🍞
😂 bread is pretty cool but yeah I see your point 🍞♾
Finding the beauty in beautiful things is easy. Finding the beauty in the mundane is what makes a great writer great.
I'm sure you found your purpose
It's not about the subject, it's about the detail put into talking about the subject.
What an ignorant statement
Marcus Aurelius changed my life. Gladiator changed my life. Only movie I ever cried to. And the books after it realizing this man was actually real. Just. I'm at peace
Dude is almsot excited as I was ehnw i first seen Marcus Aurelius writing :D
“Put an end once for all to this discussion of what a good man should be, and be one.” - Marcus Aurelius
"IRON MAIDEN 🤘! " -Marco Aurellio
Yes, I read The Good Life about stoicism a couple years ago. Great book!
Same good book
Stoicism is toxic masculinity.
You know something, it reminds me of Anne franks diary as well. She never expected her father to come upon her journals but when he did he realized she wrote about her experience in the annex in such great detail and articulated the feelings and events so vividly. Marcus Aurelius and Ms Frank definitely shared an affinity for words
"How will the word speak my name in the years to come? The Philosopher? The Warrior? The Tyrant...?" -Marcus Aurelius in the Gladiator. Definitely the Philosopher.
Thank you for this - love Marcus Aurelius
Reading this book now.
I don't think it's such an unusual thing. When I was learning English, I also kept a diary in English. At the same time, I tried to select more complex and expressive sentences. This is a good way to practice the written language.
Marcus was da man!
reading the book right now, and that part, although you didnt say it right, its original words really stuck with me
Great T-shirt, bro. Up the Irons!
I know why that bread breaks on top but it’s because I’m a chef
🍞 I was informed that bread, at a point in the baking process, creates a firm crust. But then... as more n more gas is formed from the yeast action, heat & gaseous pressure seeks a way out - rises upwards - and eventually bursts thru the upper crust.
As this is shown in nature, the build up of pressure deep under the Earth's crust, one day creates a crack and w mighty force bursts upwards, passed the earth's surface...up into the sky.
From a chef's superior knowledge - can these bread cracks ever happen w flat or unleavened bread?
@@jrbanks2983 Exactly! And that can’t happen with flat breads because of what you stated. The leavening agent is just not there to break through the crust when it forms. The cooking time is less with flat breast as well.
I love how the dude is wearing an Iron Maiden shirt.
Great people often said that what they created came through they just were in the right state, we know it as the state of flow. If the man can get into that state everything that he will create will be a conversation with God. Since God is multidimensional and timeless so are His creations. Glory to God!
Bread breaks on top because the heat of the oven dries the outside first. When the inside of the bread reaches temperature later in the cook the internal bread expands and cracks the top which is the weakest point of the crust and is under the most tension.
Exactly, I'm not sure why he said no one understands why it breaks. How is baking bread an act of nature anyways?? I don't know this guy but he seems like one of the dudes who reads Aurelius and bases his whole life off the dude
Didn’t know he was on rogan, good for him
I just love everything Marcus has said. So profound for then & now.
Probably due to the fact that one of his most influential teachers were greek. If you were taught philosophy in greek it's probably the most expressive language for that purpose. And if you are proficient in more than one language you can see notice the slight variation and find it easier to express yourself in certain areas in a certain language. Then we have the inherent differences in languages that make it easier to express certain nuances easier, in said language. Language isn't just a tool to express thoughts, it is thoughts.
..most critically, ancient greek lang etymology and structure r of tectonic order, thought expression set a priori be perfected or ..abandoned.
Huge fan of Marcus Aurelius !!
He has a book if anyone is interested. He was an avid stoic, it's called the meditations of Marcus aurelius 😊
I don’t believe a truly good comedian, poet or philosopher can ever ‘turn it off’, it is a way of thinking, a way of living. Inevasible.
Or, people that do a craft a lot are good at said craft even when they do it for pleasure, not for profit. Who knew.
Too bad Joe can't turn it on
Eine Mentorin meinte mal zu mir: du bist in deinen Notizen immer so freundlich auch zu dir selbst - ich war selbst überrascht :)
Stocism aside, loving the Iron Maiden T-shirt. Nice to know that I don't have to feel bad when I choose to listen to them at the gym instead of Daily Stoic 😂😝
It's like people finding your unknown blog 500 years from now. And boom! You're a philosopher by default
Turns out Marcus was a thoughtful dude
Speaking about Marcus Aurelius in an Iron Maiden t-shirt. 😎 Kudos!!!
RIGHT!
He saw the beauty
I'm not a literature expert but I remember that in the past, including Roman times, writers or even normal people used to write letters to others or to themselves knowing that they could have been "published" or shared. So, if I'm not wrong, I think he was perfectly aware that someone one day could have read those letters and he was consciously putting effort into them.
It doesn't make him less good at writing or something, but I don't know if this idea of Marcus' natural writing is historically accurate
the language point is also BS - most roman nobility was multi-lingual
As a Greek I’m fascinated about the level of people 1800-2200 years ago when the did all they stoic work
Bro these are all HIGH THOUGHTS am I the only one seeing this
Correct lmao. Fake deep pot thoughts. Thoughts you have that are somewhat sensible, that seem much more profound when you're stoned
Marcus really captured the beauty of nature in his works. I realized how beautiful nature is on its own even when you know the biological, chemical or physical explanation for them, the charm and beauty of the way they are is something that can never truly be understood by science.
Aurelius went to great lengths to make sure Meditations would be preserved and observed, he very much intended others to read it
I thought after he died people found it and preserved it. I don't think anyone was intended to read it.
He also talks about the way water splashes when you drop a turd
Im in love with this dude.
Любимые цитаты: «Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one»
Stoics at heart a thing, and its hard finding one because they are naturally listeners
The only reason I found your work was because of watching this podcast 👍🏻
What’s the episode?
1836
Yes my father had a PhD in philosophy. He showed me the beautiful words of the great philosopher’s. Before I read the Bible.
Good interviewer.
What podcast is this please
Break breaks on top because the outside hardens while the inside is still expanding.
Marcus be eating some good shrooms.
I think he just wasn't brainwashed and his mind was naturally open and unconditioned. This made him an excellent observer of life.
Or some good ferments/mold 😂😁🤩
As a bilingual person I can attest to the power of mastering a craft in your second language. It becomes the only way to express some ideas.
Spanish is my first language ; but I cannot speak technically in Spanish after publishing 20 manuscripts in English, doing science in English, coding in English, and learning philosophy in English.
A second language is an alternative way to see the world.
Language and writing skills were better than we have today.
For someone like Marcus Aurelius? Sure.
The common populace on the other hand couldn't read or write at all.
Currently
Rewarding it
Thumbs up just for the Maiden shirt.
Up the irons!
This is why in my head canon Marcus Aurelius is Socrates incarnated getting the chance to live out his concept of the philosopher king.
This was a great episode, he’s awesome
What episode is this ??
They might not have known why break cracks in the past. Now we know the heat evaporates moisture quickly from the outside causing a rigid outer crust to be formed. This traps moisture inside. When yeast is active it converts sugars to alcohol and CO2. The alcohol evaporates out at a lower temperature (and would be less than 2% by volume). The CO2 build pressure inside of the loaf until the exterior cracks and releases more steam. It also allows the bread to continue to rise upwards.
I got into Iron Maiden and heard about the stoics at around 12. Im wearing an Iron Maiden shirt right now. So this guy's shirt makes me kind of happy.
brilliant man 👏 his star will always shine .
It is pretty amazing someone wrote a journal?
This guys knows beautiful writing
He’s an Iron Maiden fan
was looking for this comment 🤝
Marcus was a teacher and knew others would learn from him as he did from the Greeks.
Amazing man
An incision is made in the loaf top to allow gasses to escape during baking.
It's a daily writing exercise. He was putting effort in it.

From Wiki:
"Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD and a Stoic philosopher. He was the last of the rulers known as the Five Good Emperors, and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calmness and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD"
Wow that's so crazy about Marcus

Bruh, this guy got a twin? I swear he does
I didnt know Jerry Seinfeld studied Classical Antiquity
If I recall correctly, it was thought to understand philosophy it had to be in Greek , mostly because of tradition but there was a view that because philosophy was invented in Greek it had to be thought , not just spoken , in Greek
It was more than just a different spoken language, it was a different culture and way of life/thinking
The romans spoke latin & greek, both languages were "official"
Which episode is this?
I write in my diary using the languages I'm learning too.
Marcus : "An olive fell off of my plate and I am pretty peeved."
Philosophy majors today : " beautiful 😭"
Well, it's just pockets of air that expand when heated.
“When a loaf of bread, for instance, is in the oven, cracks appear in it here and there; and these flaws, though not intended in the baking, have a rightness of their own, and sharpen the appetite. Figs, again, at their ripest will also crack open. When olives are on the verge of falling, the very imminence of decay adds its peculiar beauty to the fruit. So, too, the drooping head of a cornstalk, the wrinkling skin when a lion scowls, the drip of foam from a boar’s jaws, and many more such sights, are far from beautiful if looked at by themselves; yet as the consequences of some other process of Nature, they make their own contribution to its charm and attractiveness.”. These were his words, it was more about his observation of nature and it's correlation to the happiness that one can achieve, rather than the scientific reason.
That's it youtube, I ordered the effing book alright, you win.
