Disappointing that someone felt they needed to downvote this perfectly valid and effective philosophical advice.
- betenoire 8y agoFWIW I responded but I didn't downvote it, and I agree with the idea in general, but it did feel a little out of place. Here's my opinion why. It's hard to turn on Stoicism in the moment, it's a perspective on life that requires repeated practice and diligence. Hopefully, by the time you reach a crisis like this, it comes naturally and gives you an outlet. It's like if my house burnt down, and someone came along and said, "Brick is better than wood. It doesn't burn in the same way."
