Tfw Stoicism doesn't work

...

'Living according to (your) nature' means, as Seneca said multiple times, doing good deeds, studying, entertaining philosophy, working, and above all else valuing reason as the noblest aspect of our being...

It doesn't mean 'lol be as chaotic as the universe and indifferent man xD! *unsheathes katana* '

Good thing that Trancendentalism does :^)

The Obstacle is The Way,, by Ryan Holiday

I find this interesting. I always saw similarity between Neitzche and Aurelius but this raises a good point in the difference between the two. Neitzche sees our natural reaction to pain and ugliness as part of our virtue. Since we are responsible for our virtue it is our responsibility to be honest and true to ourselves. Neitzche seems to be making a claim about nature being "incapable of being tyrannized" and this is curious to me because what I've read of him concerns the idea of "will to power." I have been curious if Neitzche thought there were limits to this idea and i guess so. It makes sense. A stoic may resist a sexual lust and act against it but it doesn't change what he really feels about it, the truth of his desire. To be true to yourself under Neitzches terms would mean realizing that there was nothing stopping you from going after that thing you wanted. The same applies to the Stoic idea of pain. I recall an Aurelius passage where he says he learned to accept the death of his sons with the same calm as physical pain (can't find the passage but its in book 1, call me on this if I'm incorrect). I think Neitzche would see this pain as a good thing and to deny its power over you would be to deny the truth, the truth of yourself. These things have power over you because you can't beat them.
What work is this from?
