And it is a complex issue in all our lives.
That is why I practice non-violence in my daily life.

What things give you energy?
An inspirational book, movie, or song.
A person, place or thing.
A good workout, meal, and sleep.

A good lifestyle,
A good way to be,
Eating Mindful supper tonight
It helps to go through the habit of a meal, before eating it in a mindful way.
It is useful to explore how each sense feels while eating the main course: steak with salt,pepper and a touch of saffron.
Again, with dessert, mango and raw almonds.
Simpler the better.
Shorter the better.
Perhaps, journal out what you ate how it felt, what you experienced during the meal.
Sometimes, it helps journal before or after doing dishes.
Bona Pettit!
AI On Bing Vs. Me: Stoicism
AI: That’s a good question. I think it depends on how you define a lifestyle and something more. For some people, Stoicism is just a set of tools and techniques that they use to cope with life’s challenges and improve their well-being. For others, Stoicism is a way of life that shapes their values, beliefs, and actions. For some, Stoicism is even a spiritual path that connects them with the divine reason or logos that governs the universe.
What do you think? How do you see Stoicism in your life?
Me: It is about Cicero, On Living and Dying Well. I referred to a big piece of it in my last blog entry on Michael’s Space. “Grab Hold Of Yourself And Stop Being Afraid Of Your Freedom”. My blog will continue to have elements in future blog posts. But first, do no harm to myself and others. And remember this is about being and doing.
Why Understanding And Accepting ‘Argument’ Is Important
In today’s society, people are becoming dumber, unengaged, and too nice.
Dumber, because technically we don’t think enough to work out our own problems, nor do we help sort out societal problems.
Luckily there is a way out. Or through our modern day dilemma.
Unengaged, because we isolate, avoid others and remain uninformed about the very issues causing all these symptoms in society today.
Too nice, we have been followers in one of the riches cultural exchanges of this generation.
Sink or swim? Stop. Think. Decide.
You need to learn to reverse course, learn why and how to argue.

Email Chainmail Of Sorts
My challenge to you is to read this blog which states for all those who purport to do good in this world to do the following.
1. Write an email to somebody enclosing a positive message.
2. Tell them to write another (positive) email to somebody else with the instruction to do the same.
Get it, got it, good!
Who Do You Want Socrates To Be?
He is learning to be a better person.
I am doing the same by learning from my teacher : Epictetus.
Who is your teacher?
I think Socrates posits the question best through getting to know himself and staying anonymous ( not writing much down and becoming complex through a student called Plato).
I like it that money is available but not to excess.
I like it that education is key to being a better person.
It seems important to do my best and do no harm.
It is tragic that Socrates died to prove a life is worth living.
But if I truly understand, I may yet be free from the clutches of vice and ruin.
I believe in a living life kind of stoicism.
To be rational, find mental and moral health and let go of hate or a lack of compassion for yourself or others.
I guess I believe in quality of life.
