There is a beautiful dialogue called “Icaromenippus, an Aerial Expedition” by the poet Lucian inwhich the narrator is given the ability to fly and sees the world from above. Turning his eyesearthward, he sees how comically small even the richest people, the biggest estates, and entire empireslook from above. All their batles and concerns were made pety in perspective.In ancient times, this exercise was only theoretical—the highest anyone could get was the top of amountain or a building a few stories tall. But as technology has progressed, humans have been able toactually take that bird’s-eye view—and greater.

Edgar Mitchell, an astronaut, was one of the first people to see the earth from outer space. As he laterrecounted:“In outer space you develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intensedissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From outthere on the moon, international politics look so pety. You want to grab a politician by the scrufof the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out .’

”Many a problem can be solved with the perspective of Plato’s view. Use it.

The most frustrating and devastating thing is when your own friend scams or frames you. I mean, in work, work has to be work, but some ppl take advantage of u. And that's the craziest thing. Ur not gonna get ur friendship back. For sure:

Someone said GOD, I know my enemies protect me from my friends.

When u work, just work as a businessman, even if the person is ur family. Unless otherwise, you're gonna be disappointed.

As a stoic I have learn my lesson gotta move on.
As Marcus said

“Indeed, no one can thwart the purposes of your mind—for they can’t be touched by fire, steel,tyrany, slander, or anything.”

IT IS WELL TO BE FLEXIBLE

“He can’t serve in the military? Let him seek public ofice. Must he live in the private sector? Lethim be a spokesperson. Is he condemned to silence? Let him aid his fellow citizens by silentpublic witness. Is it dangerous to enter the Forum? Let him display himself, in private homes, atpublic events and gatherings, as a good associate, faithful friend, and moderate tablemate. Hashe lost the duties of a citizen? Let him exercise those of a human being.”
—SENECA, ON TRANQUILITY OF MIND, 4.3

Shortly before his death, as victory in the Civil War was finally within his grasp, Lincoln told a storyto an audience of generals and admirals about a man who had approached him for a high-rankinggovernment appointment. First, the man asked if he might be made a foreign minister. Upon being turneddown, the man asked for a more modest position. Upon being turned down again, he asked for a job as alow-level customs oficer. Finding he could not get even that, he finally just asked Lincoln for an old pairof trousers. “Ah,” Lincoln laughed as he concluded the story, “it is well to be humble.”

This story embodies the flexibility and determination of Stoicism. If we can’t do this, then perhaps wecan try that. And if we can’t do that, then perhaps we can try some other thing. And if that thing isimpossible, there is always another. Even if that final thing is just being a good human being—we alwayshave some opportunity to practice our philosophy, to make some contribution.

THIS IS WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR

“Why then are we ofended? Why do we complain? This is what we’re here for.”
—SENECA, ON PROVIDENCE, 5.7b–8

No one said life was easy. No one said it would be fair.Don’t forget, though, that you come from a long, unbroken line of ancestors who survivedunimaginable adversity, dificulty, and struggle. It’s their genes and their blood that run through your bodyright now. Without them, you wouldn’t be here.

You’re an heir to an impressive tradition—and as their viable ofspring, you’re capable of what theyare capable of. You’re meant for this. Bred for it.

Just something to keep in mind if things get tough.

Some memories are written in songs.

My favourite song ever.
