Well, it turns out I've been a stoic all this time, I'm finding out. It blows me away how that part about taking every problem as a chance to learn and become a better "wrestler" fits right in with my natural conclusions. The rest of it describes me adequately also. I'm reading Epictetus now, thanks for sharing.

>turns out I've been a stoic all this time, I'm finding out. It seems to come naturally to some, especially those that tend to adopt a somewhat cold analytical view of the world

  You might have dropped the word "cold" and been a bit more inclusive.

    Fair enough. It was meant to convey reasoning devoid of emotion...wasn't aimed at a negative judgement. I consider myself one of those people so def didn't intend to offend.

  The word "cold" on that comment only emphasizes your biases.

    No bias - I consider myself one of them. Wasn't really meant as a negative judgement - the cold is merely there to emphasise that I meant people that generally don't factor in emotions. Didn't mean to offend anyone. I can see how it could be interpreted negatively though. :(
