53 years has taught me to have very low expectations of people and to guard against this. The result has been I'm very very rarely surprised or upset at the conduct of others. Once in a while I'm delighted at the goodness of someone and it brightens my day.

2 things: 1) When treated bad or talked down to, I literally say to myself I’m so glad I’m not like you and then I say or do something positive in return. There’s a huge wave of positive emotion that comes from focusing 100% on your positive reaction.. not their negative infringement 2) in life, don’t use any negative language. Every word has an energy.. every curse word is negative.. don’t attach any negative energy to any of your words and watch your life change almost instantly

@FFLL2112 and why not? I would gladly go to a church and yell out fuck yeah. If it were a normal place for the crowd to express themselves i dont see why not. If a church ostracizes you for positively expressing that you support the church...wouldnt that make the church exactly the kind of evil or "shitty ppl" he keeps reffering to this whole video. This outdated boomer logic of curse words are BAD is antiquated. Words are words. Intent is whats important. Its the same gun argument. Guns arent inherently evil just as words arent. Whats evil or good is how theyre used. Stop hating ppl for speaking their comfortable dialect, you beautiful son of a bitch!

The advice to be patient with bad behaviors is totally wrong when it’s a narcissist or cluster B personalities you are dealing with. It is gaslighting the victims, making them even more confused. it prolongs and deepen their suffering. Psychopath sociopath, narcissist, borderlines, these abusive personalities needs the opposite of patience.

Some of us are born with THAT MUCH inherent “goodness”….high MORALS and VALUES that it is difficult for others whose standards are not that high….to understand. This causes cognitive dissonance in the person with high morals once the realization sets in. It’s too bad that we are outnumbered in this world. It’s also too bad that a lack of morals is seen as the “standard” and those of us with inherent good qualities are seen as naive. Backwards thinking for sure…but all too common in the population 😊

Actually, the best philosophy to dealing with people I received by working with radionuclides. There are three basic safety strategies with radioactive materials, 1) time, 2) distance, and 3) shielding. More specifically, minimize the amount of time you spend with people, when you must spend time with people, maximize your distance away from others, and where possible, use physical and emotional shields when near people.

I've gravitated towards Stoicism because it seems the philosophy with the most "real world" applicability. I have terrible neighbors whose bad behavior used to distress me greatly. I expected them to behave as, well, neighbors. They no longer disturb me because of my Stoic response. I do not let them steal my peace of mind from me, and I've noticed an uplift in my daily mood as a result. I was letting them control me and now I am my own master. It was not their actions but my response to their actions that was the source of my difficulty; I cannot control them, but I can control myself. And for that revelation, I can thank a nearly two thousand year old philosophy practiced by one of the great Roman emperors.

I'm the 2nd of 12 kids, only 13 years and no twins, little space between us. I remember being in 3rd grade and feeling jealous that my older sister was a much better students. Then I looked around and noticed if I was going to compare myself to my siblings, it would be exhausting and a losing game. One of them was probably going to be better than me at pretty much everything. Better to stay focused on myself and not worry about what they were doing. I only needed to be me. A very freeing moment that has stood me well.

You got me in the first 5 seconds with "people suck...." Finally a youtube philosopher who doesn't sugarcoat! Exploring stoicism and the teachings of Marcus Aurelius has made me realize I've always been a stoic. If I could just stop being annoyed when people who I don't like and respect don't like and respect me. How ironic. Liked and subbed

Don't become ATTACHED to anything. What is "true nature" People define it differently. I've been trying to find my true nature for many years and I can't find anything.

I needed to hear about this kind of advice and lifestyle. Right now I’m full of anger, disappointment and I don't want to continue like this because I know I'm hurting myself. It is difficult to accept that someone from your own family makes you go through so many problems, fights among many other things. I understand that we have to forgive, turn the page but it is very difficult for me to do that. On the other hand I am filling myself with hatred and I am very clear that this is not right.

Back in 1983, when I was 18, my college roommate invited me to drink beers at his brother's house. His brother was a 40-year-old Marine. When I asked him if he was married, he first gave me a lecture about how he owned EVERYTHING in the house, including the house, outright. No mortgages or loans. Then he looked me in the eye and he told me something that I will never forget. "People are pieces of shit and they deserve to be obliterated." I'm not in the business of obliteration. But the first half, totally. And Stoicism confirmed that ALL humans are pieces of shit. It would be foolish to look in the mirror and determine one's own self to be the exception.

This makes me think about triggers, which I have been trying to more deeply understand and accept. When I feel overwhelmed with anger or hurt by a loved one, it helps me to think about and acknowledge the original hurt that was triggered by this person in the present. The person who triggered me was pretty much acting like an everyday imperfect person like myself. I can relate to that and eventually come back to a place of peace and neutrality about that person. I will always feel some measure if pain about original pain or trauma - we all do. But I can also work on separating that from day to day interactions with others. I really also really appreciate the advice to concentrate on my own love and appreciation of things and others and not stewing about all the stupidity and evil I see in the world. It will never be even close to perfect. I must do my personal best to put out positive energy. Like Mr. Rodgers’ mom told him - look for the helpers in the world. Now, can I live all this?

I found your youtube channel during the pandemic and it has changed my life! I've been listening to you very often and reading Marcus Aurelius as well as Epictetus and others Stoic philosophers. I'm so glad that I'm beginning to learn how to be unbothered. I am at the beginning of my journey and I have much more to learn, but it's so nice to be able to enjoy the journey more and not just the destination! I've been working on being content rather than being happy as contentment is realistic and happiness is fleeting. I am so thankful to you for introducing me to this wonderful philosophy and way of life.

I live in a remote settings as a child. I learned how to be by my self. So I have learned very early on to step out of the social programing that is taught to you in and through so called educational systems. Vast majority of the time I use the language of silence with people. When we are living in the era of communication silence thoroughly confuses people especially with people who try to control you with shamming techniques. There is no stronger response. At best they will walk away from you when they can't label you. Why? Because silence wins every battle and war know one knows anything about.

After years of meditating he thinks he's ready to return to society. On his way down the mountain he passes a peasant with a donkey and the donkey is kicking up all kinds of dust. The monk starts yelling at the peasant, so nothing has changed. The moral of the story is that you must be in society, learn in society, you can not remove yourself and expect to learn to be well.

Hello Daily Stoic. As if, I found you - “just in time”. I align with all that you have said, I applaud the comments left by others. Jealousy isn’t my thing, nor is attainment… I don’t need more then I already have. I do not chase shiny objects, be it things or people. I walk out the door daily and lead with LOVE. I respect those I meet and I listen with an open mind and heart. Although many and most people suck - (narcissistic, sociopathic, energy depleting vampires). Ah, I’m judging and labeling here but its a fact, we are living amongst them. This week is huge for me, I’m meeting with the case manager who oversees my case load. She is trying squash me with their opinions of how I am doing my work. She down right says, what I am doing wrong. I haven’t heard a positive thing in weeks - we’ve all been there right?? We need positive reinforcement in any partnership; a friendly kind word, a knowing smile, a shake of the hand. Compliments, when given from the heart spiral our energy upwards. I’m going to take your wisdom with me. I won’t attach, won’t spew negativity because everything as we all know is temporary….change is the the only constant is life. I with travel out there with kindness and try to see both side of everything situation presented before me.

These aren't huge NY sidewalks, they're small neighborhood crossings. People literally step on top of mud banks then insert themselves in front of me to cross first..(?) I speak to people and they don't even look or acknowledge me. 2 nights ago I was at the corner market opening a freezer door to buy milk and a younger guy came up from behind me and said "excuse me!!" like I was in his way. I mean, I was there first. Wait your turn, it'll take 3 seconds.. Its making me feel irrelevant and outdated or like Ive been replaced by this younger generation..

I have low expectations of people but I also don't harbour any animosity toward them because of it, we are all flawed and still learning, some us change and some of us never will. I just choose who and how much I extend myself to them and that is a real art to learn. When I get screwed by someone I know it means I still have some more learning to be a better judge of character and how I will handle a similar situation better in the future. With practise people become an easy read, especially those who operate under some very basic self serving agendas.

You made my day! A good friend sent this to me moments ago without knowing I received a few calls from family and friends expressing despair at what's happening in the world. This arrived just in time, and I will be sharing it with everyone I know who will benefit from these incredible words of encouragement. Much love to you, your loved ones and this audience. Thank you! 💖

Thank you. I appreciated the whole video but the last segment really hit home. I’ve been trying to live my life differently and this has helped me renew my commitment to it. I just found your page. I’m so glad that I did.

I like to read the sermons by Albert Schweitzer, when he was living in Switzerland. He spoke about the joy found in helping others too. He spoke about the "many who drift through life, never knowing that joy". If you're a person who enjoys helping others, you're blessed.

Out of my Life and Thought was another great book by him. Its basically his autobiography. Read it years ago and still have it.

I used to be a mechanic and I always seemed to be in a situation to help others that were stranded. I Helped a trucker fix his starter, put gas in empty tanks, changed a starter on a truck in a Love’s parking lot, that sort of stuff. Over time I began to really hate individual people and felt they are no longer worth my time. The other day I helped a man get his flat tire and rim off his car. I felt afterwards that I should have just ignored him because if I hurt myself helping him, he wouldn’t care, nor would there be anything he could do if he did. Any thoughts on why I may be looking at this wrong?
