Too many people believe that everything must be pleasurable in life.

Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.

This you must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole, and what is my nature, and how this is related to that…and that there is no one who hinders you from always doing and saying the things which are according to the nature of which you are a part. - Marcus Aurelius #stoic #philosophy
I just came across this and thought it was pretty cool. We need to practice a little stoicism right now.
7 anchors for a #Stoic life:
– Control your response.
– Accept what you cannot change.
– Prepare for loss, but cherish the present.
– Expect less, appreciate more.
– Practice silence often.
– Focus on character, not image.
– Measure success by your peace.
A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.
— Seneca
Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach
— Aristotle

In essence, if any of histories great enlightenment males, like your Hemingways, Descartes and Aristotles saw what was going on, they'd recommend burning the system down to the ground.
When decadent, vein & degenerate males go on to a #podcast and abuse language by calling themselves "#stoic" (when the #stoics would have branded them as #narcissists, who the stoics said were the ones who destroyed #ancient #Greek #society), that's when we know the delusions and degeneracy #capitalism imposes.

Observe always that everything is the result of change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and make new ones like them.

Keep your intention pure. Emotions will try to distract you. So keep going. That’s the cure.

No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.
