About this episode
There's a very helpful idea in Stoicism that we don't actually own anything in life. Of course, there are some obvious examples - you don't own externals, such as other people or other people's possessions - but at the same time, we often fall victim to routine and assume that we do, in fact, own everything around us. We even seem to think, in many ways, that we own those closest to us. This is a delusion that needs to be removed from our lives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
