The Stoics had a tremendous impact on psychotherapy; quite often the psychotherapist will ask the patient to reframe sayings like “he annoys me” as “I let him annoy me,” or “I can’t” as “I won’t.” Powerful stuff. It’s apparent that we are responsible for much more than we think we are.

It's because alot of people still believe that everything is set in stone, that they believe life is a state of Being instead of Becoming. Once you try and change this perception on life, that everything flows, you can put your mind to change and self-improvement.

Big talk of the virtue of simple living from a man who lived a rich and comfortable life and never had to work for a living. I think one of the biggest flaws in his reasoning is his belief that the mind is entirely logical, when we know that it isn't. The mind runs on instinct and emotion, merely being guided by logic. So to say that we should be logical when tragedy occurs denies human nature itself. Yes, you can collect and compose yourself after the emotions have run their course, but you cannot avoid the natural reaction to pain.

Hey, fantastic video. Seneca has a very proactive approach to living a good life which is something I really agree with. One thing I don't understand though, is the concept of organizing ones day to live like it is their last day. In other words how does one live immediately? Its always been a strange question that sounds so agonizingly simple yet unattainable. I'm just not sure I understand the practicality or what it would look like for someone to live immediately.
@Sisyphus553 жыл бұрын
I think for me it would be "how can I live the perfect day?" I'd probably wake up early to see the sunrise, go back to sleep for a little bit just to feel that awesome sensation of falling back asleep when you wake up to early, have breakfast in nature, make a nice coffee and read one of my favourite books, write or work on something I like, play some basketball, and then spend the rest of the day hanging out with loved ones and listening to music.

But we can't spend everyday the same way since most of the times it is not the last. And that's where it becomes confusing. Therefore, perhaps spending the day with more awareness of the moment in whatever thing that I'm doing seems to be a good way to me. Easier said than done though.

@DarkAngelEU3 жыл бұрын
@@bhushankaduful Stoïcism isn't about indifference, it's more (I think) about accepting things as they come. Don't get upset because of certain words, but be upset because of certain events, not, like words, because you have programmed yourself to be upset by them, but because in the moment they cause you to be upset. For instance, don't cry at the ending of a romcom because that is what you're supposed to do, but maybe you can cry at the end of the movie because the movie actually stirs your emotions in such a way that you can't help but crying. Stoics aren't made of stone, they simply don't allow themselves to make decisions based on emotion.

Fuckkkkk Seneca is annoying, as much as I see where he’s going, he does not understand the idea of a mentality out of your control, people who, in other words, can’t naturally, or really by force, think in his view of rationally, as someone who helps people through anxiety and has helped with and experienced depression, I feel that his take on mentality and happiness come from the idea of a perfect mentality that is completely in ones control, in my personal opinion, philosophers who display an understanding of madness, and the arbitrary values we set on normal and not normal in our mentality and views of life are much more down to earth, though most too extreme in their display of that, I feel that it makes more sense than the idea that it really is “all under our control” No hate to Sisyphus, in fact, great vid, I just wanted to put my thoughts out there and maybe even generate a bit of discussion

@@uperdown0 long story short-ish, there is a lot yet to be understood about the chemicals relating to fear and happiness, since the brain is a frontier still being discovered. but, generally gaba and epinephrine relate to fear, and dopamine and serotonin to happiness or a lack thereof. some people are born with either an inability to make enough of these substances, or have a decreased ability to use them efficiently enough, to facilitate what one would call normal human emotional functioning. these setbacks can more easily lead to addiction, and make it harder to control one's emotions. happiness is a choice many mentally ill people would gladly take if it was available to them. i know about these chemicals because it's personal, i know how hard it is to be neurodivergent, especially in this capitalistic society. additionally, some people develop irrational thoughts and/or feelings that they literally cannot stop thinking or feeling, due to environmental distress through their life (the nurture part of nature and nurture). since neuroses are incapable of being surmounted without significant treatment, this means that people don't choose to be unhappy. i get that having positive expectations can help anyone, but it rarely fixes the underlying cause of that person's despair. positivity is a good band aid, i agree with you on that. but i disagree that it's all that most of us need to live happy lives.
