People who like to give….
Do you have something to give like the above artist?
Is there anymore to be said or does this say it all?

Loser is a term society may use to describe me….
Experiencing death and dying is a lesson we all have within our lifetime.
It hurts, the pain comes in a myriad of ways.
With me it started with my senses. Things tasted bad. I lost my appetite. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t move. I lacked power,energy, I lost weight. It is demoralizing, depressing and painful….
To value inner peace and freedom under theses conditions seem impossible or at least improbable.
This can occur when we perceive proper use of impressions, doing no harm, doing our best and being present.
Epictetus suffered like I did and it left an impression upon him which he build into a philosophy.
Although this philosophy became a practice which he taught, it allowed him to enrich his life in many ways.
John Campbell Tribute
…is a teacher, who talks about evidence based science that is true….
I use his YouTube site and information to gather information and opinion. I usually don’t participate in any way but as an occasional vid on and about the pandemic. In this aspect, I like to give tribute, from a fan (me), to acknowledge this man as a good teacher and source of information. Thank you for the wealth of your service, information, opinion and entertainment.
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.
Thick….
Someone here may remember his innermost peace.
Here again, he taught us mindfulness.
Here he found his compassion to share the world.
Why Prevent Disease?
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!
Start Doing, Thinking and Being Like Goethe
Is he the forgotten thinker?
“Lost in translation…”
Use your freedom to make who you are!
Dead is when you stop being who you are (developing or growing).
Poet, singer&songwriter, and performer…
Lenard Cohen is a Canadian poet of distinction but is best known as a singer songwriter of “Hallelujah”.
I see him as a philosopher flawed but preserved with his hard work.
He liked living in the world.
He paid his dues.
I will remember him for his work and all those things he seemed to make his own.
A Stoic Discourse
To journal about the stoic way.
To be present in my conscious awareness of being stoic.
It is the good life and doing no harm.
To state the principles and steep myself in the conversation and my voice to discover my way.
Much like the morning and evening stoic routine, it is a form or means to become conscious and discover the here and now, what is important part of my life.
To discipline myself in the art of living, is to discover my next step.
In a way, the reward is doing the step forward, committing to the choice, a better way to move now.
Letting go of the desire, or tolerating the aversion in whatever form it manifests.
A bit like Sting’s song about ‘every breath you take’. But do no harm.

Ideally, each of us has the ability to become a global citizen.
I do this through writing, travel, and working as a responsible person.
To act in a way to promote more cooperation and collaboration, but to sustain what works and find better ways to be free.
Be a part and make a move that works better today.
