The stoics didn't have to deal with work-obsessed boomers. It's not fair.

Dogen was the brick layer of buddhism. I, for one, am a follower of the cloudwatcher sect.

You have to understand that in antiquity philosophy could only be perused and produced by elite members of society that had enough wealth and status to not only have the time but the education. These people had their lives set for them before engaging in philosophy. You must find a way to cater to your basic necessities before entangling yourself in the abstract world.

Live according to your nature. The nature of man is not to sit around and focus on himself only. I don't know why you mention the stoics because any stoic in ancient Greece would've been annoyed with your petulant attitude, and being independent is a virtue as far as stoicism is concerned.
