Thank you very much for asking it. I enjoyed writing that.

If you liked it I'd recommend you have a little look at Stoicism. It's a philosophy that I try and live.

Avoid all the macho macho modern bastardisations of it and it's a beautiful heart warming philosophy that I credit with keeping me sane in these hospitals over the years.

Seneca is a great place to start especially "Letters from a Stoic". It's a collection of discovered letters between a famous philosopher and a young man he is mentoring, they dug them up from 2000 years ago and they still move me to tears. They talk about love, grief, anger, sadness, panic attacks and finding your place in the world. They read very modern and it shows you how little us Humans have changed since ancient times - we all still deal with the same issues.

Again, thank you for your lovely question.

much love.
