Hey mate. I certainly didn't want to talk down to or dismiss your struggles.

Mental health is a very difficult subject and Stoicism sure isn't some magical solution, but I found it to be really helpful to iron out the rough patches in life and I can agree with you that these modern oneliner quotes just don't work. It's like reading just do happy thoughts and be done with it. It ain't that easy.

Though I do agree with the general meaning of this quote just reading it won't help. Behind Stoicism is a lot of reading and daily mental practice before you can advance towards this outcome and even then 99.9% will never reach this goal. Though we do get better at it. And for me that's enough.

But this said, with some mental issues you need medication and/or therapy.

Greetings and wish you the best.

Not really. This is basically Stoicism. One of the leading Stoics was literally a slave. He didn't even own his own body. So, no this isn't something only for rich people.

It reminds me when anti-aliasing came out. That just massacred frames when it came out people where calling the same thing. Not worth the trouble. It did become standard. Same thing with RT. Give it time.

One thing you have to respect they have mastered the art of bullshitting. All the way to the top. Only now did we find out how weak Russia really was.

Some potent bullshit was consumed....
