The Dream of a Perfect Plan - Charles Broadway.

"Clearly, the flaw in Stoicism is the one we grapple with daily. It is our inconsistency in living up to it. Few if any have been sages, yet when I read of Stockdale's time in the hands of his captors, I marvel at what he did. It seems the greatest peril to the Stoic is not times of harshness but times of ease."
