| | stoicism
Stoicism is a school of philosophy, the founding of which is associated with Zeno of Citium, It teaches that self-control, fortitude and detachment from distracting emotions, sometimes interpreted as an indifference to pleasure or pain, allows one to become a clear thinker, level-headed and unbiased. A primary goal of Stoicism was to improve the individual’s spiritual well-being. Virtue, reason, and natural law are prime directives. By mastering passions and emotions, Stoics believe it is possible to overcome the discord of the outside world and find peace within oneself.

[To make any kind of gain in life - a gain of wealth, personal stature, whateveryou define as "gain" - you must place some of your material and/or emotional capital at risk. You must make a commitment of money, time, love, something. That is the law of the universe. Except by blind chance, it cannot be circumvented. No creature on earth is excused from obedience to this pitiless law. To become a butterfly, a caterpillar must grow fat; and to grow fat, it must venture out where birds are. There are no appeals. It is the law.] - Max Gunther 'The Zurich Axioms'
Modern psychology would have us believe that the ideal is to have a tranquil stress free existance. On some budhist, tao, ish. I'm all about finding one's balance. I represent the O. But this whole idea of worry being something you should avoid is flawed. Worry is not the sickness modern psychology makes it out to be. Worry is the berbere/tobasco of life. embrace it. |
