1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: up to Sizes Team, You're listening to The Daily Game,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from Marcus Aurelius, who was

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: a famous Roman emperor and beloved by the public during

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: his reign. According to some historians, his greatest accomplishment as

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: emperor was the ability to hold the Roman Empire together

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: through the empire's first true pandemic, the Parthian War, and

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: the dramatic wars. Marcus said, you can commit injustice by

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: doing nothing. This kind of falls true with what's going

12
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: on in the world today, all the hatred, the racism,

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: the violence. At some point, just not doing anything is injustice.

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: It's like you have to stand up to it. And

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, I say, you know,

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: like it's small things. You know, if you got a

17
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: friend who's racist and they say something racist in front

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: of you, check them, say come on, that's how you

19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: really feel, and let them know. That little bit goes

20
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: a long way in life. But if you have a

21
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: friend or somebody around you that's committing these crimes, doing

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: these things, and you're not doing anything about it. Then

23
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: you're complacent and you are committing an injustice just by

24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: doing nothing. I mean, even if if it's simple as

25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: having a friend who's a hater and it is hating

26
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: on somebody just for no reason. In the middle of

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: the conversation, you just say, why are you hating? Man, Like,

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: why are you talking shit about this person? You don't

29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: know this person. Address it, and you're doing something. But

30
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: if you don't do anything, you're committing an injustice. Now,

31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: maybe you're different, maybe you're gonna play it this way.

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: I see them hate, I know their hater, and I

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: just identify them as a hater, so I don't really

34
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: take any of their advice or listen to them anyways,

35
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: because I see what type of person they are. Well,

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: in that sense, you are still doing something because you're

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: at least becoming aware of this person's personality. But a

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: lot of times we need people to do a little

39
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: bit more. Say something. I'm on Twitter, I might say

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: this or I might say that, and people are like, wow,

41
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: you're willing to stand for something, you know. I think

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: somebody said if you don't stand for something, you'll fall

43
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: for anything. I think that was Malcolm X. But yes,

44
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: not doing anything is in self an injustice. If you

45
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: see somebody you know in need and you do not

46
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: help them, that in itself is an injustice. So we

47
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: do need to stand up and do things when we

48
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: think see things that are going wrong in the world

49
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: will racial and just this feels more present, you know,

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: the past few years. It's a good reminder just to

51
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: let people know that standing up is a good thing.

52
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: That's the way you as a person can fight, you know,

53
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: and doing nothing in itself is an injustice. This has

54
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: been another ice cold fact from me iced Tea. Listening
