Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is by no stretch of the imagination and its meaning is “used to emphasize that something is not at all an example”.
Example Sentence: In the middle of this plague, Marcus wrote a book, known as The Meditations, which records the moral and psychological advice he gave himself at this time. He frequently applies Stoic philosophy to the challenges of coping with pain, illness, anxiety and loss. It’s no stretch of the imagination to view The Meditations as a manual for developing precisely the mental resilience skills required to cope with a pandemic.
This phrase is present in The Guardian article Stoicism in a time of pandemic: how Marcus Aurelius can help, and click here to read it.
