Nostr isn't feeling so inclusive today lol. You guys just need to train more so you don't get victimized on the streets. Also, don't forget to practise stocism so your feelings hurt less.

there's a lot of useful things in stoicism that have helped me on my journey. i don't think feelings hurting less was something i wanted to hold on to, though.
i still hurt, i still ache, i still yearn. but it's not something i *have* to soothe anymore. i don't think i hurt less, i think i ache more beautifully—more devotionally.
I love the way you explained it. Stocism to me is just being intuned with your emotions, I do find that I am more calleous towards certain interactions though, I feel complete apathy towards and racist or prejudice remarks. Yet, on other subject matters like abuse and neglect I feel tremendous empathy and care and concern.
thanks~!
from what i understand, a lot of it has to do with being undisturbed or unmoved by passions, but i could never really embody that part.
however, i found much of the philosophy helpful in controlling my impulsiveness and finding my way to integrity.
