Great post.

Something that was not addressed directly was consumerism. I have said this a couple of times already on this site, but when I was essentially forced to trash over half of my possessions, I stressed a bit for some days. After the initial stress subsided, I felt an almost euphoric relief, and I still feel good when I think about it.

Damn straight.

Confession: I’m not a pathological narcissist. I merely no longer give a fuck.

Hide away in your graves, and rot.

Zoroastrianism and several religions lend their lineage to teachings found in stoicism.
