And so what did Cato think of his brother brother who was far less strict about these things? He loved him. In fact, he worshiped him. It's important to remember that Stoic has strict

standards. We have strong opinions about what's right and what isn't. But, and this is a big but, we have to be understanding and forgiving of those who have been, as Mark's realist writes, We have to be understanding and forgiving of those who have been, as Marx really writes, cut off from truth. Marx's rule was to be strict with yourself intolerant of others, and that's the line that Kato walked with his brother. That's what we have to figure out with the folks who in today's world live in a very unstealic way. There are consequences for their actions, of course, especially when those actions or choices

are unjust, but we don't need to cast them out of our lives or write them off as worthless or awful. We can still engage with them. We can see them at Thanksgiving. We can let them into our lives in a way that is safe or respectful to our boundaries. We can accept that people can see things in a different way and let them live as they wish. Again, so far as those choices aren't hurting other people.

And we can, to borrow an old expression, hate the sin while we love the sinner. Because what they do, how they act, is not up to us. Good we choose to see in them, to get out of them, that is an hour control. Thanks so much for listening to the Daily Stoke podcast.

And I'm Sydney Battle, and we're the host of Wondery's new podcast, Dis and Tell, where each episode we unpack a different iconic celebrity feud. From the build-up, why it happened, and the repercussions. What does our obsession with these feud say about us? The first season is packed with some pretty messy pop culture drama, but none is drawn out

in personal as Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears. When Britney's fans form the free Britney movement dedicated to fraying her from the infamous conservatorship, Jamie Lynn's lack of public support, it angered some fans, a lot of them. It's a story of two young women who had their choices taken away from them by their controlling parents, but took their anger out on each other. And it's about a movement to save a superstar,

which set its sights upon anyone who failed to fight for Britney. Follow Dissenthal wherever you get your podcast. You can listen ad free on Amazon Music or the Wonder App.
