230215 What I learned in my studies this morning 3*

Day late, dollar short.

Procrastinating last night

No post 'til today.

Thoughts:

The Stoics teach me that fear is often fear of nothing, of some thing or things which will not come to pass.  I make it up in my head and suffer needlessly because I don't focus on what it real, what is in front of me.

Buddha reminds me that accepting what is, a la the Stoics' amor fati, leads to peace and acceptance.

May I learn this lesson and practice it . . . especially at 3 freaking AM.
