  • How to Not Care About Stuff | The Philosophy of Epictetus | Einzelgänger

    How to Not Care About Stuff | The Philosophy of Epictetus

    Full video: https://youtu.be/p2KHo95QknkThe outside world is not in our control, but the way we choose to act in and position ourselves towards the outside world is in our control. Again, Epictetus doesn’t encourage us to not care about anything. On the contrary: living a good and moral life in accordance with nature is a Stoic’s main goal, which lies entirely within our control. But he does encourage us not to cling to what’s not in our control because these things are fickle, weak, and unreliable.#stoicism #epictetus #notcaring

  • Letting Someone Go | Taoism for Broken Hearts | Einzelgänger

    Letting Someone Go | Taoism for Broken Hearts

    Taoism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/tao/The philosophy of Taoism revolves around letting go, accepting, yielding, and going with the flow. All Taoist sages seem to agree that it’s better to be detached and indifferent, allow change to happen, and move along with life’s constant transformations than to resist change and cling to what’s already in the past.When we are romantically involved with someone, we often see the opposite happening of what the Taoists teach. We attach, we cling, we control, and we’re usually very fearful of being abandoned by the person who generates immense bliss within ourselves. At the peak of the socalled honeymoon phase,’ when everything seems carefree, joyful, and happy, we wish it would never end. But as we all know: this period of mutual infatuation never lasts.No feeling is final. The changing nature of our emotional world causes us to fall out of love, sometimes as quickly as we fall in love. When feelings change, the relationship changes. Frequently, the consequence of declined feelings of attraction, for whatever reason, is a breakup.
    Such a drastic change is challenging to handle, especially when the decline in attraction isn’t mutual.For some, it takes years (or even a lifetime) to get over someone. Others never truly accept the breakup and move Heaven and Earth to win back their old flame, to no avail.
    When we cannot change outside circumstances, the only way to move forward is to change ourselves, including how we look at the situation at hand. The Taoist ideas in this video could help us see the breakup (and heartbreak in general) in another light.Letting Someone Go | Taoism for Broken HeartsSupport the channel:

  • TAOISM | The Fasting of the Heart | Einzelgänger

    TAOISM | The Fasting of the Heart

    Taoism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/tao/In psychology, as well as popular culture, we see the emerging of different types of detox. The dopamine detox, for example, also called the ‘dopamine fast’ is currently presented as a way to “reset” our brain’s reward system, by abstaining from all kinds of activities that bring pleasure.The idea of detoxing ourselves from outside influences isn’t new. The ancient Taoists acknowledged the value of letting our minds rest, so we stop the exhausting maelstrom of judging, identifying, analyzing, fantasizing, et cetera. According to the Taoists, silencing our faculties for a while not only replenishes our energy, it also brings us closer to a mysterious and incomprehensible force referred to as ‘Tao’.The ‘fasting of the heart’ entails temporary abstinence from intellectual as well as sensual activity. This concept isn’t just about detoxing the mind; it’s about detoxing the soul, by shutting down the mind and the senses. This video explores the ‘fasting of the heart’.Support the channel:

    Walking away from marriage, children, and other stuff we're supposed to have

    When society believes something is good, does it necessarily mean it’s true? Is it wrong to live life differently? And what is life like when we go against the grain? Let’s explore life without marriage, children, and other stuff we’re supposed to have, the nature of social norms, and some existentialism.Video: Walking away from marriage, children, and other stuff we're supposed to haveSupport the channel:

    Why Silence is Power | Priceless Benefits of Being Silent

    The power of silence is versatile. Silence can transcend speech, speak without words, and complement where verbal language is lacking. And keeping silent also has advantages in terms of creativity, mental health, spiritual and religious practice, achieving the upper hand in negotiations, and even as a way to intimidate. This video explores the power of silence, unfolding four priceless benefits of being silent.Video: Why Silence is Power | Priceless Benefits of Being SilentSupport the channel:

    You Don’t Lose People. You Return Them | Stoic Philosophy

    Most people struggle significantly after losing their loved ones, which seems to be a natural phenomenon. Also, the mere prospect of losing someone close to us triggers anxiety in many. But the Stoics observed that the fear of loss and the torturing distress of grief are consequences of irrational thinking. This video explores Stoic philosophy in the context of attachment, loss of loved ones, and how to deal with being separated from those we care about.Video: You Don't Lose People.

    Why You're Unhappy (according to Epictetus)

    Yes, the enchanting, exciting outside world of pleasures we often deem interesting enough to pursue. So we desire what the world has to offer. But losing what we cling to hurts. Unfortunately, what we gain and lose is up to Fortune. So if we let our happiness depend on things that aren’t up to us, Fortune controls how we feel.#stoicism #epictetus #stoic
