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.
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!
Some would argue, we have done all we can with traditional medicine and prevention is the next best thing.
I believe the progenitor of all ways are the pursuit of prevention through philosophy, belief, and imagination or curiosity.
We understand through the senses, primarily sight.
We cure or prevent through thinking outside the box.
The way we do this is through belief.
The best way to believe is to theorize and practice or experiment on yourself in a way that does no harm.
Become your healthspan.
Prevent disease before it happens to you or just live a healthy life.
Pursue health wealth and well being through the senses.
Find what works for you and do it.
This all sounds rather childish without a blueprint to follow.
A good life is the practice of what works for you while doing the least amount of harm to yourself and others.
Examine or get to know yourself.
Find out what you are doing that is self destructive to you and others.
Make a sincere effort to turn those bad habits around.
While you do all the above, keep looking for what works for you and do it.
You will prevent problems in your lifestyle and Improve your healthspan.
Humour yourself and try to do it for a few weeks, reassess and convince yourself to do it again.
If you need some encouragement to continue, come back here and look for some or look somewhere you can find it and do it for another few week. Keep building this habit until it becomes a lifelong habit passion, healthspan!
Why not examine our lives for holes?
If you have ever gone down the YouTube rabbit hole, you know what I mean.
Nothing wrong with YouTube or other users.
It is just the hole I find myself in from time to time.
I get stuck: depressed and tired, angry, obsessed, addicted and lost!
Getting to know myself is the solution.
Awareness is key, but the truth can be more painful than I am prepared to live with on this or any occasion.
Sometimes it is good enough to know I am in a hole.
Sometime I need to stop look and listen.
Maybe it is time to turn off YouTube and go to bed.
What other holes am I stuck in at the moment?
To be fair is not an entitlement.
But it is a right.
Music, math,myth, mate,
Music to warm the soul.
Math to model a better future.
Myth to demonstrate the truth.
Mate to make love, prosper and engage the world.

Opinions vary, but the left and the right are showing off to people all the time.
Call them who you may, the COVID-19 crowd may be a conservative taking selfies with protest leaders or liberals mocking those who do.
But you may want to stay informed about COVID-19 politics.
It is time to rejoin society in most aspects.
You may have always been a little apathetic about ‘the vote’.
Education is key.
Please read the above article and stay informed in all your affairs.
Is it reasonable to stay like we are and do what we do?
Don’t answer that, but perhaps it is time to look at what we are doing with food.
There is a great debate which involves many big problems on planet earth: climate change, to eat or not eat meat (our health and welfare may depend on it), and changes are being spurred on by new concerns and interest due to Covid-19.
The exact place to start in this quagmire of change may be to start reading about the great debate.
Please support the effort and read the link below about meat and veggies.
