Synopsis: Today is Friday, and you know what that means: time for The Stoic Jew Q&A! As you can tell from the title of the episode, today’s question is not so much of a question (nor was it submitted as such) but a request. This is not the first time I’ve been asked to slow down, but it is the first time I’ve examined this personal fault of style through the perspectives of Seneca and the Rambam. Will this change anything? I sure hope so! Either way, acknowledging and understanding the problem is a step in the right direction.Related Episode: How to Deal with Blushing, Stage Fright, and Other “Uncontrollable” Reactions (Seneca Letter #11 – On the Blush of Modesty) Sources: - Seneca, Letter #40: On the Proper Style for a Philosopher’s Discourse- Rambam: Mishneh Torah, Sefer ha’Mada, Hilchos Deios 2:5; 5:7----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
