Wow @khaleelkazi. I can see your mood has changed a lot. Not only to you return posting but also with a philosophical tone. I was always afraid of Stoics thinking they have no sense of humor. I need joy and love to live.
Have a great weekend.

Yeah I had a lot of time to think, read and listen to podcasts in my downtime while I was traveling and then returning home. It was a refreshing change of pace!
That huge misconception exists about Stoicism in general, I think because people hear "suppress emotions" and they jump to the conclusion of becoming some sort of "robot-like" version of yourself. Stoicism is a lot more about gratitude - appreciating what you already have - and also just a broader focus on the good emotions in life rather than the bad ones. I look forward to talking about it more as I make my way through this book!
Have a great weekend as well :)
Thank you. I'm in the mountains now enjoying fresh air. I will have more time to philosophy during the week
Sorry I’m coming back to this kind of late, I ended up out of town again for the holiday. Those mountains are beautiful, I hope you had a great time thinking up there!
I came down but I will go back again this weekend. I was afraid you left Steemit. I've been busy with teaching and family but always posting something. Can you see my discord message?
