Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.

In the Stoic quotes series, we take a look at what the Stoics said and uncover the wisdom they left behind. We look at the famous writings from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and more.

In this fourth episode, we explore a striking reminder from Marcus Aurelius in Meditations, Book 4.6:

“That sort of person is bound to do that. You might as well resent a fig tree for secreting juice. (Anyway, before very long you’ll both be death – death and soon forgotten.)”

What can we learn from this image of the fig tree and the inevitability of death? Marcus helps us confront the absurdity of holding onto resentment when people act according to their nature. Just as we don’t curse a fig tree for producing figs, we shouldn't waste our energy wishing others were different. And in the end, does it even matter? We are reminded of the shortness of life — and that we, and those who wrong us, will soon be gone and forgotten.

This is a powerful practice in accepting human behavior, releasing judgment, and keeping a wider perspective on what really matters.
