This is what #life is like to me and a #stoic perspective on it.
Life is a non-stop hurricane force storm of shit thrown into our faces 24/7/365. Or as the #Buddha said "life is suffering".
We can't make the storm of shit stop, even for a single moment, no one can. What we have to do is learn to be like a good fighter. We dodge, duck, bob and weave. We also learn to roll with the punches to lessen their impact. We known sometimes the only thing to do is smile while we pick the shit out of our teeth.
These are where the Stoic #virtues come in. If we are #courageous, #wise, #fair and #disciplined we recognise our true nature. We learn the skills necessary to not only survive but to thrive when we try our best to live a virtuous life.
