STOICISM FOR DUMMIES
STOICISM FOR DUMMIES
MY INTRODUCTION TO STOICISM (simplified):
1. Life is all upside, no downside.
First principle -- recognize that life is all upside, no downside.
This means:
Let us take every event in life and transform it into our advantage!
2. Self-focused
Why do we get bitter and salty in life? My theory:
We self-sacrifice ourselves but when others aren't grateful as much as they 'should be', we become resentful towards them and reality.
Thus, it seems the solution is to become maximally self-centered, selfish, introverted, egotistical, and vain.
3. What is the duty of a stoic?
My thought:
Your goal is to maximally empower yourself, then empower others along the way.
