You may have to do this. On at least two occasions, Seneca lost everything he worked so hard for. First, his legal career was derailed by illness, and it took him ten full years, prime years, to recuperate. Then, just as he was getting things back on track, he ran a foul of the emperor and was banished from Rome, for nearly as long as he was previously in firm. Musoneus Rufus was exiled twice, just like Sennaka, and then two more times. Zeno had to rebuild his life after a shipwreck,

Rutilius Rufish after a political persecution. These stoics like countless other people through history and through their resilience joined Kipling's Club, the one where one learns to watch the things you gave your life to broken and stoop and build them up with worn out tools. It wasn't their fault for the most part. Just as this pandemic wasn't your fault,

just as that bankruptcy was a bad break, just as the divorce would have never been something you chose. But here you are facing it. That's life. Stuff happens. As Kipling says, we make bets, sometimes big ones, they don't always work. Then what? Well, you can whine about it. We can blame shift. We can become bitter or disillusioned, but why? Well, good is that. Better to lose and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss. Keep going. Dig your way out. Learn from this. Build back. Better. Give no time, no interest, no quarter to complain in or whining or blaming. That's how a stoic handles adversity. That's how a stoic handles adversity.

That's how a stoic builds resiliency. And that is just what you are going to do. Thanks so much for listening to the Daily Stoke Podcast.

or Du Moir or in court. I'm Matt Bellesai. 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 buildup, why it happened, and the repercussions. What does our obsession with these feuds 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 Brittany.
