I’m back I think and it’s not like I don’t have anything to say or news to share but im going to say something that 16 year old me will be like brotha eughh………on here we do tiktok lingo

Someone even offered me their set to learn more. Hehe soft
Anyways I wanna give a red talk Epicureanism it’s basically ancient philosophy
Epicureanism, in a strict sense, the philosophy taught by Epicurus (341–270 BCE). In a broad sense, it is a system of ethics embracing every conception or form of life that can be traced to the principles of his philosophy. In ancient polemics, as often since, the term was employed with an even more generic (and clearly erroneous) meaning as the equivalent of hedonism, the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the chief good. In popular parlance, Epicureanism thus means devotion to pleasure, comfort, and high living, with a certain nicety of style.
In other words it’s just enjoying life
Although today this word is colloquially used to mean reveling in excessive pleasurable activity, that's not the way Epicurus described his philosophy. In fact, he emphasized the importance of a simple life and quiet pleasures. Classical epicureanism was all about the absence of pain and fear, rather than eating an entire chocolate cake while lying in a hammock.
Ancient philosophy explains it in the sense that you are living the good life and focusing on your happiness and self care
Your bills are paid , no drama , no chaos just living
Now in as much as that’s cool I believe stoicism is way better
STOICISM
Stoicism teaches the development of self control as a means of overcoming self destructive emotions in lame minded people terms not giving a fuck about certain things that will ruin your person and peace.
Stoic philosophy arose through adversity. Its power lies in applying a certain mindset to bring more resilience, wisdom and calmness into your life…….ps watched a ted talk and this is what I learnt and you must learn too.
What stoic techniques help to put things in perspective?
The stoics used various techniques to maintain that peace of mind:
Visualise negative scenarios. So think about how you will deal with setbacks. How do you sustain yourself and stay emotionally balanced? Can you picture yourself doing that as realistically as possible?
Realise that we are all going to die. This is a hard fact of life, but also a beautiful thought. Out of that realisation comes: let me make today a beautiful day because every day I am getting closer to death. Live deliberately and don’t waste your time on stupid or useless things.
Embrace destiny. There are plenty of things that cannot be controlled. So worrying or getting angry is pointless. You get in the way of yourself. The only option, however difficult, is to accept your fate. Or if you can manage it, even loving it.
Observe the objective reality. We put labels on everything; good, bad, great. It helps to put things in perspective. In the end, a nice pie is just a bowl of dough with some sugar. A beautiful car a piece of metal on wheels. And a gold medal is a piece of metal with a yellowish colour.
Realise that we own nothing, but have everything on loan. By not placing too much value on possessions, stoics train themselves to detach from external factors. Everything in life we have on loan. With that thought, we can remain emotionally calm when something is taken from us, because it was never really ours.
Enough of my Ted talk
