Im thankful for my mommy

That's a good philosophy desu

marky boy STILL fucking over cynics

>Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness – all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil. But for my part I have long perceived the nature of good and its nobility, the nature of evil and its meanness, and also the nature of the culprit himself, who is my brother (not in the physical sense, but as a fellow creature similarly endowed with reason and a share of the divine); therefore none of those things can injure me, for nobody can implicate me in what is degrading. Neither can I be angry with my brother or fall foul of him; for he and I were born to work together, like a man’s two hands, feet or eyelids, or the upper and lower rows of his teeth. To obstruct each other is against Nature’s law – and what is irritation or aversion but a form of obstruction.

Who do Americans only read Memeditations and all the other stoics? Is it because they are meme-regurgitating morons or because they are meme-regurgitating morons?

*And ignore

>t. bitter cunt insecure about their inability to feel gratitude for the good in their life

Acknowledging good is the first step in pursuing it.

To think people were doing Tony Robbins mantras millennia ago.

Because Americans, despite all the freedom and democracy talk, love authority and monarchy. That would explain the obsession with celebrity culture.

last time I checked we liked killing monarchs like sadam hussein

norm is reddit: the comedian

>monarchs like sadam hussein

He took the title of ملك which is basically a monarch in the west

You literally had this guy on your payroll called "The Shah." Then his towelhead citizens revolted and you never got that client state back.

But is he successful?
