The ancient Stoics believed nothing was more important than good character. They would be aghast at our leaders in 2020
If ever the importance of having a good character was put to the vote, it was in November 2016. Then, a reality TV star who flaunted his bad character (from mocking a disabled reporter, to bragging about grabbing women by the pussy and disrespecting members of the military) was voted president of the United States, and on some level the issue was settled.
Does character matter anymore? Increasingly, it seems no.
