220504 What I learned in my studies this morning 2

Don't call me cowboy. 
Don't learn to rope and to ride. 
Do call Miss Kitty. 

Daily Stoic:


My kids, seemingly, don't think it's strange that dad talks with them about virtue all the time.  Even though my interest in Stoicism (and, to a lesser extent, Buddhism) has only rekindled into serious pursuit in the past few years, I have been a philosopher for many years. 

I have two degrees in philosophy, but that doesn't make me a philosopher.  What makes me a philosopher is that I've seriously considered, studied, and tried to live within an examined creed since I first started 30 years ago. That creed has evolved over time as I've learned more, experienced more, and loved more. 

I'm glad my kids know this side of me. And I hope that, in this at least, they emulate their dear old dad.
