i was gonna call you a stupid faggot but lemme educate you instead.

this also ties in well with this gentleman's post >>7124474, which is actually a good post, but I disagree with one part

Although the Stoics weren't sitting down and trying to systemize a theory of everything, they did revere the Logos, ie the rational order of the universe. They believed since rationality cannot abide vice then the universe was working towards some virtuous end and that everything that happened to you was part of a greater tapestry of event and circumstance that was ultimately Good. This is where they derived much of their equaniminity in the face of tragedy. Yet even Aurelius concedes that if this isn't the case, if it's "just atoms", being a noble person is still bro-tier and the right thing to do. Cat ladies today would hem and haw about DEFINE NOBLE THEN SHITLORD but to any normal fucking person living out here in 3D land this is self-evident.

Passions are not empty or meaningless, they are just impressions that we use our reasoning faculty to discriminate between. It's about making a very solemn choice to cultivate virtue, discard anything that even has a hint of vice, and not sweating everything else. It's about not being a pussy bitch getting pulled around by every flit of thought and emotion.

you're still a stupid faggot though
