Today’s Stoic
The wise man is not subject to insult, because he knows himself to be of no account in the eyes of those who insult him.
What it means today
Insult loses its grip when you stop needing the insulter’s approval. You are not diminished by the opinion of someone whose opinion you would not otherwise seek.
