    I really connected with the story of the hermit and his simple happiness. It reminds me that we often complicate life by chasing success, when true peace can come from letting go of those pressures. I think this is something we can all apply in our overly busy lives.

    People, in my opinion, including myself, often tend to struggle identifying the fine line between when it's necessary to actually care and when to just let go. Stoicism definitely has useful insights in this regard. The recurring theme of non-attachment across Buddhist and Taoist scriptures seem so vital, it sometimes surprises me how these are not mandatory subjects in every school and other educational institutions.

      @@chriswilliams8159 I hit the jackpot when I finally stumbled across some basic Stoicism. Practicing the simplest techniques saved my life more than once since then. The amount of control over life's toll on my emotions alone was/is like night and day. Still it's unfortunate it was well into my adult years, and out of desperation to survive overwhelming mental anguish. I'm more suspicious than surprised it's not a basic mandatory school subject. It's been my observation that narcissistic people still always try to frame it as some kind of callous form of malicious bigotry with their sick, endless fight for control to tell us what to think. I used to try to argue in good faith with them. Now I just agree with them as I back away 🪨👍

    I had this same realisation when I was i history class. To me, it was when we learnt about the Jews during Hitler's control of Germany. I learnt they were put into ghettos, where they were confined to this one area of land. They had tight living conditions, not a lot of food, were separated from friends, and weren't even able to go on vacations anywhere.
    Learning about this, I immediately decided in my mind that these people must have led such sad, unfulfilling, painful lives. But then, I learnt that actually, they simply went about their life as usual! People helped give food to the poor, and they created their own society within that place. Even in such limited conditions, people accepted their situation, embraced it, and managed to find their own purpose and happiness.
    And that was when it hit me, that happiness doesnt depend on outside objects. Happiness is just about perspective. Its just the belief that I have enough, and I dont need anything more for this life to be complete. Happiness truly comes from within, since it isn't dependent on anything else. Mindblowing at the time, now i wonder why I ever thought differently.

Also, ambition can be a good thing if applied healthily and not at the expense of your well-being. But I do agree with appreciating the small things in life and not conforming to the most ridiculous of materialistic and capitalistic expectations. Having goals, friends, and a family are very normal and healthy things though. Sorry but not sorry.
