What It Means To Carry the Fire

“We’ve talked about this before—this idea of Carrying the Fire. It’s a concept that comes to us from the beautiful and haunting novel The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Set in an apocalyptic world, one that echoes Rome in the aftermath of the Antonine Plague or even our own days of pandemics and unprecedented unemployment, the novel follows a young boy and his father who are trying to survive in a world of darkness.”

Ryan uses a concept from Cormac McCarthy’s The Road to explain the importance of the four Stoic virtues, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.
