221221 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

We've got a really big shew for you tonight. A really big shew.

A little failure, a little winning, a little Ellington. A really big shew. 

Daily Stoic:

Have I done enough that is worthy? Have I done anything worthy?  Will I do anything worthy?

I'm in medias res examining my life. Ditto with trying to raise my kids to be the be people with a headstart on examining their life. — I want, desperately want, an external beyond my control to happen, to be true. — I want them to leave their teens exposed directly to philosophy. Broad patterns of how philosophy can bring you happiness through tranquility and equanimity. 

We been reading books about philosophy for 2022 and will continue into 2023.  Nasty, Brutish, and Short: Adventures in Philosophy with Kids by Scott Hershovitz and How to Think Like a Roman Emperor by Donald Robertson. (Links to both are in the sidebar.) 

So, if I'm really lucky, maybe my legacy will be my progeny and their character.
