I used to think I wasn't normal by not reacting and kept the emotion to myself whenever something or someone upset me so I started to react so I can be normal. I became too emotional and it caused my relationship with my gf. Now through stoic philosophy, I'm re-learning how to keep my emotions together like how I did back then.
It’s ok to express how you feel and to have feelings because at the end of the day you are a human being. Stoicism helps for not letting negative emotions take control of you.
Its about not letting it spill out to everyone and certainly not about repressing it. It's about silently acknowledging it, accepting it and yourself and then letting go. We mostly jump to conclusions about events and spin them in our heads because we don't have the full information about the situation or we are fighting back against something that will happen anyway.
Happened to me as well. I had a family member I was looking up to and working for when younger, and didn’t want to see his failures. One day he was somehow angry with my calmness and said something like “why don’t you react? Nothing matters to you?” Or something. I didn’t know he was trying to manipulate me in general and when I found out it was a bit late. I already got anxiety disorders, ptsd, and trust issues from his betrayal. I managed to change my life since then, but still fighting against high blood pressure and sleep disorders..
@@Leopar525 It is my sincere hope you have found the fortitude in you to put all those experiences behind. I can relate too, I indeed had a very similar situation many decades ago, still bugs me a bit, but life marches on, and we march through, if I can do it so can you, heal and keep on moving my fellow man.
I was told at 53, from out of the blue, that I had a terminal illness and to put my affairs in order. I was told they might be able to prolong my life, but didn't know for how long. Try applying Amor Fati to that with a sense of calm. I have no family support, but I'm told by my friends, that I deal with this very well, but controlling that fear of the future is not possible for me. And comments like "we're all going to die someday" are hurtful because they are dismissive and lack compassion. I still find moments of happiness almost daily even though I'm in physical pain. But it is a ceaseless challenge and it's mentally exhausting.
@@astuari169thank you for asking. Recently I've been doing pretty well. My health has been the most stable it's been in 7 years, since my diagnosis. I'm trying to enjoy what I'm able to do without predicting how it's going to be in the future. I have multiple serious medical problems, but I know how to handle them, and I keep working towards taking care of myself so that I can do things that I enjoy. It's a lot of work. But the payoff is that I can go walking in nature and that makes me feel more alive than anything.
Indeed, forgiveness is a long process, but when you take the decision to forgive, you reward yourself with inner peace. People do not deserve your forgiveness because they always think that you deserved what they did to you. In fact, you need to forgive and let go to gain your inner peace.
The concept of forgiveness is super important, and I think it’s a good thing to focus on. Even when we feel betrayed, letting go of those feelings of hurt can bring us solace. All the other points made were great too. Love the content! 💙
I agree that you can let go of the feelings but I learned that I can let them go without forgiveness. Forgiveness is reserved for those who accepted that they made something wrong and who shows regret. Others won't get forgiveness, I only let go of the feelings and take it as a lesson for the future
@@nico3064 I think you're right that forgiveness is for those who have accepted their mistake and regret it, but it can still be beneficial to let go of the hurt even if the other person doesn't repent.
I've listened to nothing but Johnny Cash, D. Ray White, Chris Ledoux, and Marty Robbins back in the day. Now I listen to nothing but The Steel Woods, Steeldrivers, Creed Fisher, and Cody Jinks. I became a stoic in that manner.
Like anything else, this advice has to be executed with wisdom. If you repress your emotions under the guise of stoicism, there will be a decline in health spiritual physical and emotional
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you know how many jerks past my path 🤣🤣 thank god I am no longer in the corporate world. But I'm happy that helped a lot of people at work so people when they see me out and about they always say hi and they missed working with me. If people just say good morning and be nice to each other, the world will be a good place for the next generation 💙
It's a strange thing in the uk, the further up north, in my experience, the friendlier people are but also to a certain extent the poorer people are. In my village we all say morning or smile to each other. The more money people have and further down south the more people just ignore each other. Its so sad. There are obviously so many variables to this though! Xx
My goals and desires is something that I know as an older man. But as a teenager to when I was young, I had no clear direction. What type of advice could I give my 17 year old son, to maintain mindfulness of the current moment? He currently doesn't know what he wants to do. I would like to instill some wisdom to help him for his future.
This is great advice but alas easier said than done! I’ve been working on better stress management for many years! I’ve made progress but still need to work on this
14:42 Better than that you can use them as Red Team. You wouldn't feel bad for considering the consequences of actions in chess or poker so why do you feel here? The question "how you're going to surtain yourself" used to cause me great pain until i started to study philosphy and science and ended up becoming pretty fricking smart with useful stuff as i byproduct, i didn't even want to study all that stuff, even though it was interesting i rather watch anime, but i was desperate. Same with mma, i care so much about defense and staying away from bullshido not simply cause i like it but cause punishment is very real. You can still face it corageously and win in spite the risk, that's why i love sports.
„Letters from a Stoic” isn’t a true title of this collection of letters. It’s a title of a modern eng. edition… they are called „The Moral Letters” - „Epistulae morales” in Latin.
Seneca, thank you!!!!( Corrected by me)I am getting better at spelling on these tiny machines that I love and abhor.( Lol) Have a sense of humor, overlook my ignorance please. 1.Empicletetus: the slave 2.Marcos Aurelius: the emperor 3.Seneca: the powerbroker and playwright. Three radically different men who led radically different lives. Journeling they all had in common.
I can see why Seneca ended up worse off than other Stoics. That's lousy advice. A Stoic should aim to not harbor hatred or revenge, not forgiveness. You'll be forgiving others all the livelong day following that idiotic line of reasoning, constantly reacting to stimuli. Worry about your own debts for your own actions, not the debts of others towards you. That's their burden.
Love your fate, even if it is horribly tragic, like the death of child -- because it leads to self-growth? I don't think so. This sounds like gaslighting yourself or the most toxic New Age thinking.
Keeping calm is fantasy land pretty much. God lives within us, and with Him, we are capable of everything. Conversely, without Him we are capable of nothing ❤
No one ever does that. No parent does that. Faux News pretends its a thing. It's not. Any person can put on a show. It takes a parent to bring their child there. I hope you have a great day.
