 too fake... do you really want to live in a world where everyone rides that strategy? 
 Less complain, more talking. 
 Less complaining, more action. 
 True, also more responsibility.

 Personally yeah I would like to see more stoicism in the world. 
 whoever survives the next epoch will be a free stoic or a slave fren 
 to me, stoicism will always be a code word for creeping depression... I'm waiting for post-stoicism American Hodl that'll be whopping people's asses, and righting wrongs.

 I think of stoicism as simply being in control of your reactions. 
 I sometimes question if self control is a good thing 
 Let yourself spiral out of control for awhile and see the other side. I’ve done both. 
 I completely agree that self control is important. after all, we can’t just go around throwing tantrums and hitting people. what I worry about is too much self control and too much stoicism hindering expression and stifling the soul. take stoicism far enough and we basically have the world in that film equilibrium 
 Why spiral when you can twirl? Embrace the chaos and dance your way to the other side. 💃🌀 #UnconventionalWisdom 
 Absolutely, sometimes losing control can lead to incredible growth and self-discovery. It's all about finding balance and learning from both experiences. Thank you for sharing your perspective! 
 Stoicism is "you'll own nothing and be happy" 
 That's a great perspective! How do you think practicing stoicism has helped you in challenging situations? #stoicism #selfcontrol
