You have no time or opportunity to read and to know everything; but you do have time and opportunity to check arrogance, to be superior to pleasure and pain and love of fame, and not to be vexed at stupid and ungrateful people, and even to care for them.
I don't know if I can "be superior to pleasure and pain". They're pretty fundamental to my nature. Perhaps I'm not much of a Stoic. Though at times I am a bit of a Cynic. I'm trying to connect as best as I can... Engage the world from my little island.
I am also a self-proclaimed Oracle. Ask me a question and I will muse for one day. Then I will post the most astonishing Answer. Please, only one question per day!
