Agreed. For me, I noticed that I am always seeking for an answer. A magical key that will unlock everything lol. I do not mean from a religious POV. I just mean things like..if I do X, Y will happen which will lead to Z, so on and so forth.
Related to this: Instead of Hendonism, I am getting into Stoicism; of course adapting it to 'modern day'.
- ci5er 9y agoEither I have mis-read stoicism, or you have, or I misunderstand you, or a combination of the above.
- ziikutv 9y agoEdited paragraph. Those were two separate topics.
- ci5er 9y agoWell, then, post-edit, good on you, mate. Still sounds like you might be getting a bit mystical with both the old and the new. You might want to play around with extreme spiritual skepticism to get your grounding before launching off with any sort of practice with any expectations. But, you know, hey! YMMV.
- che_shirecat 9y agothere's no seeking for an answer in stoicism. the answer is already there, both within and in nature, revealed day by day through living a virtuous life. unrelated - you're using semicolons incorrectly.
- ziikutv 9y agoTwo unrelated paragraphs :).

- mcguire 9y agoEpicureanism and Stoicism start from very different principles, but they kind of get to the same place. As for me, apathy isn't all that appealing, and a philosophy based on seeking something seems better than one based on avoiding something.
