Marcus Aurelius provides our daily dose of stoic philosophy today, with an extract from Book 9, chapter 42 on shamelessness:  “Whenever you are offended by a man's shamelessness, ask yourself immediately: 'Is it possible then for the shameless not to be in the world?' It is not; do not then ask for the impossible; for he, too, is one of the shameless who must exist in the world. And have the same ready also for the rogue, the traitor, and every kind of wrongdoer; for directly you remind yourself that the class of such persons cannot but be, you will be gentler to them as individuals.” - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations Walk the Pod is your daily walking podcast In this episode of daily walking show, Walk the Pod, I take my podcast for a walk because I don't have a dog. Take 10 minutes out of your day to walk in nature, pay attention to what’s directly in front of you and think about how to be in the world. This is the ninth episode of Series 24 of the podcast. Each series includes 15 daily walking episodes, in which I walk a local footpath in Wimbledon, SW19. I pay attention to what I can see directly in front of me, and think about how to be in the world.
