Facing Truth, Finding Strength

“If it is not right, do not do it. If it is not true, do not say it.” — Marcus Aurelius

Today is National Truth and Reconciliation Day here in BC, a day to pause, reflect, and acknowledge uncomfortable truths.

The Stoics taught that running from truth only weakens us. Real strength comes from facing reality directly, even when it hurts, and choosing how we respond with integrity. Reconciliation isn’t just a national act, it’s a personal one. Every man must reconcile with his own past mistakes, his own failures, his own shadows.

What do you think is hardest for men to reconcile with?

If none of these fit, drop your answer in the comments.

Stay Stoic, brothers.
