220128 What I learned in my studies this morning 2
Fitful nights vex.
Improper formats bother.
So what? Move on. Go.
Daily Stoic:
I would that I could control my desires and aversions that I may want only what is right and avoid all that is wrong.
I would that I could act rightly that I may avoid those actions which cause unnecessary harm, divorce me from the cosmopolis, or imperil my character.
I would that I could practice my assent that I may be free of deception and error in my understanding of the world.

I need to complete and restart my reading of Farnsworth's Rhetoric. Then his book on the Socratic Method. Then his book on legal arguments. Then reread The Practicing Stoic. Then....

I have work to do. After a fourth restless night in a row, I don't feel like doing it. Discouraged and meh, I just want to shirk my duties, skip lunch with a friend, and ignore family and friends until I get something, anything like a several good, consecutive hours of sleep.But I cannot. And I will not. And it sucks but so what? I am not a beast to do only what suits my body's urges.
Today's Meditation:
David Hume, The Epicureans
