I'm a wannabe stoic. I try but dammit, my emotions always wins

I'm inspired by stoics but I'm no hard core stoic person

What's a stoic?

My virtues are telling me to not respond to this.

I aspire to be a stoic, but of course like everyone, I'm not perfect.

@JimboSaturn No. Anyone who claims they're perfect or the most stoic should come with a "Do not enter" sign 😂

@Queendragonfly Yes it's a lifetime of self mastery. Epictetus is my man.

@JimboSaturn what's your favorite stoic quote?

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@Queendragonfly Hmm I can't think of a quote, but I just like the concept that you only concentrate on things you can control, which is really only yourself and how you react to things in life. If you are the master of yourself, it's all you need.

I think Ghandi inspired by Thoreaux said "you have have me beaten and even have me killed, but you will not have my obedience.

I absolutely agree! This gotta be the core of stoicsm.

A quote that shows a good example to this is [i]"If you can't change the situation, change your attitude"
