“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert, Dune (Dune #1)

Do what you will. Even if you tear yourself apart...

It took me nearly 30 years to learn something I should of been taught as a child. And this is why I teach this to children. My own, and the ones in my care;
Supressed emotions don't leave us.
They get trapped. They rot. They fester.
But emotions that travel through the awareness, being allowed to exist, do eventually leave.
Often, we're taught that to feel emotions is weakness. But our emotions can be painful. And turning towards pain isn't weakness, it's strength.
Hail Yourself! 🤘

Marcus Aurelius Words of Wisdom #wisewisdom #selfconfidence #motivatio...
Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor who ruled from 161 to 180 AD. He is best known for his philosophical writings, particularly his work titled "Meditations," which reflects his Stoic philosophy and provides insights into his personal reflections and approach to life. Marcus Aurelius was a practitioner of Stoicism, emphasizing self-discipline, rationality, and acceptance of fate. Despite the challenges of his time, including wars and political turmoil, he is remembered for his wisdom, virtue, and commitment to duty. Marcus Aurelius is often regarded as one of the "Five Good Emperors" of Rome, alongside Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, and Antoninus Pius, for his efforts to maintain stability and improve governance during his reign.

Statens främsta uppgift ansågs [av stoikerna] vara att skydda den naturliga rätten […] Alla medborgares lika värde och rätt måste erkännas.

If you can control your perspective and focus you can master how you feel about anything.
The trick is learning to see things from multiple perspectives. Then remember nothing can effect you if you don’t let it.

Meditation
Most men I encounter don't fully understand meditation so they stay away from it.
If you're interested, the big thing to know about meditation is that it's goal is not to control your thoughts, it's to stop letting them control you.

“So you wish to conquer in the Olympic Games, my friend? And I, too… But first mark the conditions and the consequences. You will have to put yourself under discipline; to eat by rule, to avoid cakes and sweetmeats; to take exercise at the appointed hour whether you like it or not, in cold and heat; to abstain from cold drinks and wine at your will. Then, in the conflict itself you are likely enough to dislocate your wrist or twist your ankle, to swallow a great deal of dust, to be severely thrashed, and after all of these things, to be defeated.” by Epictetus
The Stoic

i've seen people talk a lot about how chilchuck is a caretaker, but he tries really hard to hide it - and how it seems like he probably wouldn't ascribe that label to himself - and i was wondering why until i remembered the genderbend extra!
Tumblr media
here, woman chilchuck leaves the party because of her family - presumably because she wants to be with or take care of her kids and husband..... y'know, the things that man chilchuck is currently Not Doing? and its not because his family Isn't important to him, because it obviously is! and that's when it hit me:
many people have discussed how chilchuck is allergic to being emotionally vulnerable in-part because of the way half-foots are treated.... but i think there may ALSO be some gendered expectations associated with caretaking and being emotionally vulnerable that make him reluctant (at least earlier on in the series) to be open with others, especially about personal matters. especially when he's already being infantilized and dehumanized, being 'emasculated' (whether by other races'/cultures' standards or his own - unclear) is another thing he cold be trying to avoid by putting up his colder, more distant 'i'm only in it for the money' worksona.

speaking of philosophy im reading meditations by marcus aurelius rn and I know that stoicism has a reputation of being for dudebros and honestly. I get why such a dumbshit demographic of people is so attracted to meditations this is one of the easiest things I've ever read.
