230818 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

What was I dreaming?

All the stars are hanging out

In day. There behind.

Long live the pioneers

Rebels and mutineers

Go forth and have no fear

Come close and lend an ear

Thoughts:

Sounds like Ken needs a dose of Stoicism (or at least Epicureanism).

(Note to self: go look up the context of the quote from Mr. Wilber.)

If I deem myself unharmed, I am unharmed. In the 117 billion lives lived on this planet, surely many, many people have faced practically any situation that I could come across in my life. At least some of them came through it all right, with some appropriate reaction, but no more.

If they can do it, it can be done. If it can be done, it can be done by me.

Not to mention, I have a leg up on so many of them. I am a student of philosophy, specifically Stoicism (and a little Buddhism), and have learned many practical lessons designed to help me choose my life's path. I have tools most people have never been exposed to.

While not a guarantee I'll succeed by any means, it does mean I have a better chance of pulling it off than most.

Even if those odds may still llie below 50%.
