Damn, Aurelius transformed the "I have no enemies" mentality to "I have no enemies alive" real quick

@Alterdice

"I have no enemies, as they are all dead"
- Marcus Aurelius

@DMAOZO

Marcus "I'm fine this doesn't bother me at all. On a  unrelated topic I'm going to make you bathe in blood of  your former lover."

@SebAnders

"Have this gladiator slowly killed by draining him of every drop of blood" Marcus said stoically

@NixViche

Hes so stoic that he gave the single most unhinged and emotional response possible.

@ethananglin6795

A better definition for stoicism is the ability to only focus emotionally to the things that you can control

@sabbarwal_punjab_wala

3 things that instantly changed how people treat me: 1) I stopped chasing attention. 2) I read books on Atruve. 3) I stopped trying to prove myself to people who don’t matter.

Her: “Marcus… Are you mad?!”

Marcus cleaning the blade he chopped up the dude with: “Not at you.”

@alfianfahmi5430

Aurelius : "I'm a Stoic myself...."
Also Aurelius : *Sends hitman to a cheater* 💀💀💀

@SavantPete

"She is forth thy cross roads"- Aurelius

@Tensile.e

Now bro has no enemies left 🗿

@daisybuchanan8205

That's the furthest thing from stoicism, he is obviously enraged and he showed his rage loud and clear.

@KapitanBatory

People are completely misunderstanding stoicism by saying "that's not stoic at all!", and the video is somewhat to blame as well. Stoicism is not about what you show, it's about what you think. We can't know (considering the story to be true) whether in this situation Marcus Arelius was stoic or not. Stoic approach to the situation is: Can I do something about it? If yes, then I should just do it. If not, then I should accept that it is what it is, and push away negative emotions. Marcus had the gladiator executed, because he could, and as long as he didn't base his happiness on that, then he is stoic.

@ethanreches5508

He then said the known sentence "palica debalo balasta" which means "she belongs to the streets"

@aarongronsman2170

It is very important to note that the source he cites, the Historia Augusta, is a very unreliable source at the best of times, and that the contemporary historian Cassius Dio does not not mention any such events.

@Luke-pk9fe

Just when you couldn't like Marcus more he drops this wisdom on ya.   🐐

@lightboi9752

Ever since that gladiator went missing, Marcus Aurelius has been walking straight again.

@Goonwithatireiron823

Seems like a pretty emotional response

@leonkincoln-dp8vs

The fact he only goes after the gladiator proves his sane man. What he did was a subtle warning for senators .

@Panzerkeil27

Romantic justification for gruesome showboating. Hats off, Marcus 👏🏼
