February 14th THINK BEFORE YOU ACT “For to be wise is only one thing—to fix our attention on our intelligence, which guides all things everywhere.” —HERACLITUS, QUOTED IN DIOGENES LAERTIUS, LIVES OF THE EMINENT PHILOSOPHERS, 9.1 #DailyStoic

Okay now I’m watching return of the king and Samwise Gamgee is the most loyal friend you can ask for 😭 View quoted note →

The most common complaint I hear from single women is that potential suitors they meet earn less than they do. It’s not that they’re gold diggers but they don’t want to be the primary breadwinner. Fiat is so evil that it literally makes starting a family unaffordable. It is the most effective form of population control.

All the memes finally resulted in an arrest. We must continue to meme them to death.

February 13th PLEASURE CAN BECOME PUNISHMENT “Whenever you get an impression of some pleasure, as with any impression, guard yourself from being carried away by it, let it await your action, give yourself a pause. After that, bring to mind both times, first when you have enjoyed the pleasure and later when you will regret it and hate yourself. Then compare to those the joy and satisfaction you’d feel for abstaining altogether. However, if a seemingly appropriate time arises to act on it, don’t be overcome by its comfort, pleasantness, and allure—but against all of this, how much better the consciousness of conquering it.” —EPICTETUS, ENCHIRIDION, 34 #DailyStoic
