"Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness."

I haven't read them but I sure wish more people were stoic.

Is stoicism just cuck cope?

>>513356880 (OP)
Based

pretty nice. I like all of those guys, Epictitus, Diogenes, Antisthenes. There are a lot of good Greek philosophers but these ones feel the most practical for the lives of men.

Yes, it is. I too was caught up in the stoicism cuckery, until I realized it was merely a philosophy to keep the cattle in check so they can be useful to the empire

You're meant to cope and then ACT optimally so no, its only partially cope and the coping is formulated to be especially effective.

Commodus was also based, participating in gladiator games himself

Live by your own rules and kill anyone who tries to stop you.
