You take it for granted, but not everyone can do it.

As we said recently, the Roman emperor didn’t have the freedom to take a walk. It was too dangerous. He was too busy. So when Seneca wrote, “We should take wandering outdoor walks, so that the mind might be nourished and refreshed by the open air and deep breathing,” he was talking about a luxury that Nero didn’t enjoy. Seneca had it during his painful exile, but Nero lacked it on the Palatine. When Seneca wrote about the noise of the baths—a keystone of Roman life—and the messy, annoying, even disgusting humanity therein, he was speaking of an experience that, again, Nero, for all his power, would have mostly lost.

It’s not just emperors who lose these things we take for granted. Ask a celebrity what it’s like to lose their privacy or ability to be anonymous. Ask someone who has been injured—as Epictetus was—what it’s like to lose their mobility. Ask a prisoner or someone who has to work two or three jobs to support their family what it’s like to lose their free time.

We have power of movement—literally and figuratively—that not everyone has, that we ourselves might not get forever, either. We should not let it languish. We should appreciate and be grateful for it. We should get up and go for a walk. Instead of complaining about how crowded our favorite restaurant is, we should be glad to be able to share it with our fellow citizens. Instead of complaining about running errands, we should be glad we can do them for ourselves. Instead of complaining about traffic, we should be grateful we have somewhere to go—and the freedom to go there.

Enjoy it while you can. Enjoy it because you can. Not everyone gets to.

OID Helps Oklahomans Recover $260 Million in Unclaimed Life Insurance Benefits
OKLAHOMA CITY – In association with Life Insurance Awareness Month this September, the Oklahoma Insurance Department (OID) announced that Oklahoma consumers matched with $260 million in life insurance and annuity benefits through the Life Insurance Policy Locator (LIPL). This free tool helps beneficiaries find unclaimed policies.

Since January 2017, more than 13,000 Oklahoma residents have submitted search requests. Those searches resulted in confirmed matches totaling $260 million in benefits as of July 2026, with over $40 million in benefits so far this year.

"Life insurance can be critical to families during a time of loss," said Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready. "Unfortunately, navigating old paperwork or locating missing policies can be overwhelming. This tool ensures Oklahomans can finally connect with benefits that are rightfully theirs."

The LIPL, hosted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), securely searches participating insurance companies on behalf of beneficiaries to identify existing life insurance policies or annuity contracts — at no cost.

How to Use the Life Insurance Policy Locator

Visit the secure, encrypted Life Insurance Policy Locator
Submit a request with the deceased's information, including their Social Security number, legal name, date of birth, and date of death.
If a match is found and the requester is confirmed as the beneficiary, the insurance company will contact them directly. Searches may take 90 business days or more to complete.
A response is sent only if a match is found and the requester is the beneficiary.
The NAIC's online tool has received more than 1.5 million policy search requests. As a result, insurance companies have reported more than 780,000 matches with life insurance policies or annuities, totaling over $16 billion through July 31, 2026.

Some were headed for special events and destinations. A first-time trip to Disneyland. A son’s wedding across the country. A school trip with classmates. Others were on their way home. Flying back from a 100th-birthday celebration for their grandmother. From a visit with their three-year-old child to see family on Cape Cod.

We could never know what it was like. The bewilderment as it began. The fear as it unfolded, the panic as realization set in. The terror that each person felt as the planes they were on were hijacked and crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.

What we do know is, in that time of unimaginable terror, the feeling that rose above the fray was love.

Brian Sweeney, a passenger on Flight 175, used his last moments of life to call his wife and leave her a voicemail:

I just want you to know I absolutely love you. I want you to do good, go have good times. Same to my parents and everybody, and I just totally love you, and I’ll see you when you get here.
Too many people think that to be “Stoic” is to be free of all emotion. This is not it at all. The point of Stoicism, as Marcus Aurelius says in a remarkable passage in the opening pages of Meditations, is “to be free of passion and yet full of love.” That’s what’s so beautiful and moving and almost superhuman about Brian Sweeney on that call. The context of it could not be more extreme. Yet Sweeney’s words reflect calm, not panic. He has pushed aside, in that moment, all the passions that must have been swirling about—confusion, anger, fear, the primal urge of self-preservation—and replaced it with selflessness and connection. He was full of love.

Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a courageous force that drives out fear and hate, sharpens resolve, and fills us with purpose. “Pure love,” Seneca said, “careless of all other things, kindles the soul.”

So today, on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, let us—as Marcus said and as Sweeney was—be full of love. Let us tell those we love that we absolutely and totally love them. Let us answer every situation and problem we face with love. Indeed, there is almost no situation in which passion helps, but almost every situation is made better when it is full of love.

Artificial Intelligence and Insurance Fraud: What You Need to Know

New technologies are designed to make life easier and more convenient. But with those innovations come new threats, especially in the age of artificial intelligence. What once required advanced software to fake voices, photos, videos and documents can now be fabricated in seconds on a smartphone. Here’s what you should know about AI-powered insurance fraud and how to protect yourself.
You can take preventive steps to avoid becoming a victim of AI-assisted scams:

Be skeptical. If you receive unexpected communication claiming to be from an insurer, verify it through an official phone number or website.
Verify all documents. If a medical form, repair estimate, or receipt looks odd, question it.
Never alter claim photos. Even small edits to enhance may trigger fraud alerts.
Keep original documents and receipts.
Report suspicious activity immediately.
