211028 What I learned in my studies this morning

Sneezing, sniffling, hell.
What is carried on this wind?
Accept life. Adapt.
 
Daily Stoic:


The need for human connection is stronger than gravity. No matter how independent I feel, or how introverted or misanthropic, there is still an instinctual drive to connect with other people.

Even if I could manage to never feel the need for company in a personal sense, eventually I'll need something and that leads to needing someone (even if it is just a cashier or delivery driver).  More likely though, I'll want the comfort of being with another person; someone to talk with, play with, celebrate with, commiserate with, fight with, love with . . . whatever the desire may be.

Wouldn't it be nice if the people whose lives I touch liked me and were helpful to me?  Then I must be likeable and helpful.  How?  By being genuinely kind, caring, honest, interested, friendly, loyal.

If I am not these things, why would I expect someone to be that way for me?
