    My girlfriend just chated on me and I found out from a guy who got drunk and told me she did it with him. I didnt get angry at him or even her. I accepted what fortune has given me. Now I will move on to keep following my goals just again by myself. The beautiful thing is that i was able to behave this way thanks to stoic way of thinking, not getting carried by emotions

      Sorry but its bullshit. Your brain is constantly doing stuff that you become conscious of after it has already taken place. Control and thereby self control is an utter illusion. The president is no more free than the slave, just more comfortable. The philosopher is no more free than the dumbass, he just experiences more thoughts being processed. There never was a choice.

    12 Point Meditation
    1. Truthfully, I am the most radiant creation of Creation's idea.
    2. Truthfully, in everything I am accordance with the creational order and with myself.
    3. Truthfully, everything turns for me to the best, because I live in the success of the idea of the Creation.
    4. Truthfully I know, that there are no resistances against my success,
    therefore also not in my thoughts and not in my imaginations and also
    not in my feelings.
    5. Truthfully I know, that I can do everything and that success is always meant for me, because it is so.
    6. Truthfully I am my destiny's maker and therefore a magnet of the
    consciousness and psyche, that attracts health, peace, calmness, love,
    respect, and deference (awe), as well as success and wealth.
    7. Truthfully I know, that my thoughts are my power (might) and that thereby I determine everything by myself.
    8. Truthfully, my thoughts are my power (might) of the consciousness and
    of the subconsciousness, and I unite myself in every second with it.
    9. Truthfully I am glad and happy and full of love.
    10. Truthfully I am one with Creation's consciousness and therefore also with myself.
    11. Truthfully, my life and work consist of success, because I know that the most successful is success.
    12. Truthfully, my life is fulfillment, because everything fulfills itself in me, because I am success.

    I found stoicism helped me, after 18 months of losing a long term relationship I stumbled upon these quotes. To apply them really does help. I lost alot of loved ones the last five years. It broke my mind. For a while I didn't think I'd make it. This is the human experience though so it must be good, beens it is normal.

      @The Moon No offence mate but I beg to differ and if you re-read the quote it is in context with an electric light switch and a quote is supposed to be exact words.

    And he knew already about switches and lights??

      @@kyupified2440 I really don't think so... Whoever was writing 2,500 years ago, was not using words that did not exist at that time, as anything related to moderm electricity, like switches and light bulbs, were not yet invented. They probably wrote about candles and matches and oil lamps, therefore who ever translated Confucius made a sloppy work out of it. The lights (light bulbs) were discovered by Thomas Edison (among others) around 1879 AD. Confucius died in 479 BC -- there is a distance of 2,358 years between these two events... Hardly something that we can ignore. I don't think to translate "Anyone can find the matches after the candle is lit" from Chinese is that difficult, I just did it... Taking things so badly out of context makes everybody think it is just a joke!
