Topic: Stoic Thought of the Day (26th August)

Anonymous A started this discussion 9 years ago #65,244

Think of all the people throughout history who spent their entire lives in hatred, suspicion, paranoia, boiling anger. Now they're dead, and all of that negative energy was a waste of their time.

No man knows the day of their death. While you can, while you live, find tranquility.

This is YOUR own made-up quote. It is not from a historical Stoic.

It's paraphrasing Marcus Auralus; nevertheless, I never claimed to be quoting a historical stoic.

It is a bad paraphrase/translation, but fine.

You are an example of hatred, suspicion, paranoia, boiling anger, and negative energy. How ironic!
