This lecture discusses Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, Stoic Paradoxes, and focuses on the sixth paradox, namely that only the wise are rich. In the course of this discussion, Cicero points out reasons why possession of wealth or property does not amount to being rich. Those who pursue, value, or possess money are not made genuinely happy by it, and are often made fearful or miserable.
