    Why would I take advice from someone who… 1.) Didn’t believe in a connection of a higher power whether deity or God. Since that limits your thoughts, chores and connection of being an open spirit? 2.) Didn’t have a strong mind, he put himself down more times than the opposite and was introverted, seeking isolation when we are extroverts by nature, like ants, we work together by working together, like wolves, wild dogs and lions we have power in cooperativeness not singly. 3.) Committed suicide, this shows the importance of the first two even more greatly, cutting your self off from God, or deities you already object that you know better than them, so he wasn’t obedient he was rebellious to outside help from higher powers, and he also was rejecting human help, as if he knows more than others, when you’re just a man, limited, how can any human build a society or community if they are only inclusive about everything? He commited suicide because he wasn’t even confident in anything, not even himself, why would I commit suicide when I know others need my help, or why would I commit suicide just because someone else asks me to, Nero told him to off himself, and he did, he bowed out to both himself and another’s opinion. This is why I have little to almost no interest in stoics, these are modern day athiest, who think they can solve all the worlds problems but their own. Seneca speaks that a man needs and must have adversity, yet the moment he faces it he cowars from it. Prophet Daniel faced the same situation of a tyrant that Seneca did with Nero, yet Daniel was more confident in God Yahweh, than he was more than himself and the tyrant Nebacannezzer, when the king told to kill him, Daniel never wavered and followed the words of God, from thrown in a fiery furnace, to fed to the lions, Daniel was neither over boastful of himself, like Seneca was when he states throw me to the wolves and I’ll come back leading the pack, nor was he disconnected or rebelled against God, so he remained connected, unlike Seneca who said even Zeus cannot take my free will, where did that lead him? To killing himself because he had no connection to God, even Epictetus raged against Zeus, yet he looked passed a tyrant barabric deity bitch God, and broaden that there was a source far larger and stronger than Zeus, a actual God, he states if God created us, God would not want to harm his creation, but subside with it. Stoics have nothing to offer, this is why I stick to Christianity, learn from our Muslim brethren’s, grab from Buddhism and Hindusim, and practice gratification and knowing that our fellowship needs us and our Gods need us. No time for fools and the stoics were the biggest of fools, both ancient athiest and modern athiest have one thing in common, they think they can govern everything they’re way and not based on the higher powers, and secondly, based on peer review research, like pew, national institute of health and world health org, athiest commit suicide more than all religions combined. Good luck with that. I’ll stick to my religions, prophets, gurus and true wise men.

    Hello again Having paid attention to all this shared conversation. Need to say trying not to reach out for help BUT, do believe a fire in ma belly is not anxiety (long story, short!) Think excitement, once and for a long time thought this was fear (it still is, fear) BUT more in a good way calling this excitement, super helpful indeed. Needing a new professional road mapping partner, me thinks. Terrifying, exciting! Difficult to find help. Truly grateful for this. 💜

Robert Sapolsky says free will is a delusion because of all that has came before, largely biological.

    Yet it can’t be, never has been and never will be. Why? Because religions serve Gods, all stoics and Roman’s eventually rebelled against their deities. Most were agnostic like Marcus states so, others went full blown athiest like Seneca. A religion, serves the writings or hearing or connection with of Gods. Europe has only taken apart of Christianity, Europe has no foundational religion they stuck with. India and China have Hindusim and Buddhism. Middle East and North Africa has Christianity and Islam. No one in the world by even greater than 1 million people practice stoicism, even Jews and Judaism has only 50 million. Europe has no real spirituality other than attaching themselves to Christianity.

    That might be true (I think it is too), but I’m sure he faced such comments before lol. And since he practices stoicism so frequently.. He won’t let such comments get to him haha (I’m assuming such comments are written to offend him or something like that) because.. “You don’t’ focus on what you can’t control.” In this case, what other people think of him.
