What would a Stoic do — healing-anger
A stoic thinks of "suffering as a [necessary] part of life." — TheMadFool
I would've come to the exact same conclusion had I been living 2000 years ago - poor sanitation, rampant disease, ineffective medicine, wars, plagues, corruption, and, for people like me, no air conditioning. — TheMadFool
Which one am I? A child or a fool? Or am I both? I'm not kidding. An answer will mean a lot to me. — TheMadFool
This contradicts your previous statement. — TheMadFool
I can't see myself living anywhere else, do any of you accept suffering as part of life? — healing-anger
fae — TheMadFool
having even participated in some terrorist activities — TheMadFool
Uh, I know how the victims of any said incident would feel lol. That's the thing about insults and put-me-downs. They either have a basis in reality, some merit, or remind you of an area in your life/attitude you need work on or they don't — Outlander
but a life with no suffering, angst, or worry is hardly a life at all. — Outlander
I live with other people, one of them is very difficult to be around with, it's like treading on eggshells. I feel like I'm 'trapped in a box' so to speak and I can't get out. I can't see myself living anywhere else, do any of you accept suffering as part of life? What would a Stoic do?
I am trying to follow the Stoic way, any advice, would be much appreciated :smile: — healing-anger
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
