the Stoic philosopher wears their mind and character like a badge of honor, always keeping it pristine and true to their code of conduct. This is akin to keeping one's body clean and groomed. We may not always be able to see the effects of our grooming on the outside, but it will be reflected in our attitude, demeanor, and overall health. In the same way, keeping one’s mind and character clean is an integral part of the Stoic philosophy, and will be evident to those around us.
