Stoic Conversations 29

"Maybe we just need to move things forward, and apply Stoicism to the stuff that matter now, like running a profitable business, or finding the sort of lifestyles we find comfortable."

"Profit and comfort?"

"Yeah, the stuff that matters now."

 "How are profit and comfort Stoic virtues?"

 "That's what everyone cares about these days, right?"

"Do they all care about that, or just the yuppies and the hipsters?"

"Isn't that what you care about?"

"No."

"Dude, everyone just wants to get rich and get laid."

"No, not everyone."
