>>12887022>>12887085can i interject for a bit
i've read all the pseudo bait, beyond good and evil, meditations, a bunch of buddhist stuff
they all sound good, but its just that in your day to day life you're going to fall into the old habits because you can't keep those teachings on your mind. you can be a buddhist, right up someone infuriates you can it gets too hard to be a pacifist
in fact, did you know buddhists aren't necessarily massive pussies? you should check out the souhei monks from japan.
and i mean i can memorize stoicism but i can't maintain it because their values aren't mine and i mean i just read it, agree with it and then never do anything with it.
i wonder if you have more physical props and set aside an hour a day you could get more out of philosophy. i see the value but the application of it when you're just trying to get through your shitty life is nearly impossible. i think fake retards trying to sound smart just through around the words but don't even read the material.
