Today's Meditation(s): The True Believer , XIV Unifying Agents, Hatred, §58 I try not to identify too closely to any -ism other than Stoicism. And I try to confine myself to learning how I should live rather than trying to instruct others on how they should behave (other than my kids). (In fact, a few minutes ago, I found myself writing something that sounded political, other-centered, and definitely not about my personal journey toward enlightenment. Thankfully, I spotted it and spared you the inane ramblings of this particular 'anonymous' twat on the net.) I am trying only to change myself, my reasoning, my actions, my understanding, my assumptions, my biases and prejudices, my filters and blindspots. Nothing else is up to me so I do what I can do and, Fate willing, it will be enough. I need to keep working on doing these things more consistently.
