hello I'm learning brithish english and I want to talk about stoicism in this post, I hope that this will help you, I love to share my wisdom and researches.
One week ago I discovered a new concept. Stoicism is about stay focused on the present moment and don't worry about things or events that we can't control. In our age that's a good life philosophy, on the internet or in the news is always talking about problems of our society and that's ok . We need to know the problems of our society to become in a better society but don't get stress. A lot of people is worring about things that they can't change or control, take the global warming for instance, we can help to reduce the global warming now doing something like recycling, using less electricity, etc. But we can't do this:
-ok for tomorrow everybody around the world will stop using petrol, all companies will stop producing plastic and we'll travel to the past to avoid the invention of the plastic.
That's out of your control and that's ok; don't worry about the past or the future instead stay focus in the present and remember that the world and your life, will never be perfect, and that's ok.
Being stoic is also about control our feelings and impulses to be invincibles. Sometimes a lot of people will say you:
- you're incredibly handsome (or beautiful).
-you're so mature for your age(a classic).
-you're amazing in (put somthing that you like).
-you suck in this.
-you should drop out and do something else.
That's the weak point for much people, instead of falling in love inmediatly or crying inmediatly, use them to impulse yourself or just ingnore them until you can think correctly or act correctly, both are ok.
I'm not a perfect stoic person but I think that I can use this phylosophy to change my life and I wanted to share this information with you.
Yo mismo intento ser estoica. ¡Ha sido difícil este año pasado! Bien hecho - tu inglés es fantástico.
