STOICISM

Being a stoic means being someone who values his life and is not swayed by the bragadocio of life you see being a stoic means you have realised that whatever self sabotaging behaviours we might have picked our way during our lives.

Fredrich Nietchze a philosopher from Germany migrated to the South to find some sort requime. 

He was eventually beaten and mobbed once for his erratic behaviour. He has covered so many topics that I won't get to today.

But one of the most important takeaways was:

1) Do not go to church 

2) Do not drink alcohol

Why you may ask because drinking alcohol and church have one thing in common because they are self gratifying in it's own tenets. 

So when we subject ourselves to such self-sacrificing behaviour we don't become our true self instead we become our own worst self.

Now I'm not saying that going to church is bad, I go to church myself. I just admire the stoic enigma, I get to become someone, more self aware than my lost self

Each day I try and learn something new from stoic philosophy maybe you should too.
