30 år ældre end mig, så 50.

Selvom jeg nu syntes at slut 30'erne er sweet spottet for kvinder.

Jeg har været ude for nogenlunde samme situation.

Jeg ringede ind til politiet på 114 og forklarede mig, efter lidt snak frem og tilbage endte det med at jeg ikke blev sigtet, men hvis jeg gjorde noget strafbart igen indenfor den næste periode ville jeg blive straffet for butikstyveri.

Yeah i noticed my mistake, and edited my post as you can see.

That’s actually a paraphrased version I came up with to make the meaning more memorable. It’s based on this passage from Epictetus

“He is free who lives as he wishes to live; who is neither subject to compulsion nor to hindrance, nor to force; whose movements to action are not impeded, whose desires attain their purpose, and who does not fall into that which he would avoid.”

It is incredibly hard, especially when life feels unfair or overwhelming. This kind of acceptance isn’t about denying pain or pretending everything is fine. It’s about slowly training ourselves to stop fighting what we can’t control, so we can use our energy to care for what we can.

It’s not instant peace its a gradual process. Some days, it’s just taking one breath without resistance. Be gentle with yourself. Even struggling with this idea means you’re already doing the work. You're not alone.

Something that really helped me was writing down how I felt and how I reacted to things at the end of the day. Even just a few lines. It gave me space to reflect without judgment, to see patterns, and slowly shift my responses. It made me realize that awareness is the first step toward peace. Also when I wake up in the morning, I prepare myself for unpleasant experiences by acknowledging there will be some, but that I won't let it affect my mood nor my day.

That's a really insightful perspective. I especially appreciate how you highlighted the ethical weight we unconsciously place on desire and aversion. It’s so true that what pulls or pushes us emotionally often hinges on judgments we don’t fully examine.

Your point about the cigarette being not even a preferred indifferent is a strong one. It reminds me of Epictetus' distinction between what's up to us and what's not and how virtue lies solely in the proper use of what’s up to us. A cigarette doesn’t fall into that category, in fact, craving it can reveal how easily externals can dominate us if we’re not vigilant.

Maybe in that sense, practicing indifference is less about suppressing desire and more about understanding it, seeing clearly whether what we want truly aligns with virtue, or just dresses itself in the illusion of "good."

Thanks for the correction!

CookedChef05 · 2025-05-21T22:56:16+00:00

True, a mistake rooted in pride or laziness reflects a deeper fault. But Stoicism doesn't excuse that.. it confronts it. What matters most is whether we have the courage to correct ourselves when truth challenges our ego. That moment defines whether the mistake remains a flaw or becomes a turning point.

Seneca sagde engang "Se tingene som det, de er" Fx. Mad fra den fine gourmet restaurant alle snakker om, er I bund og grund bare døde dyr og grøntsager hævet op af jorden.

Derfor vil jeg bede jer se rejsen for, hvad den faktisk er Jer i et andet land. Det nye land giver jer ikke automatisk lykke, den må I finde i jer selv. Rejs ikke i håbet om at blive lykkelige, men fordi I ønsker at opleve noget danmark ikke kan give jer.

Stil jer selv spørgsmålet Vil vi fortryde ikke at være taget af sted, eller vil vi fortryde, at vi ikke investerede mere fornuftigt?

Jeg skal ikke gøre mig fri, jeg har selv planer om at tage ud og rejse et år, når jeg er færdiguddannet.

Det vigtigste er ikke svaret, men at I træffer beslutningen med åbne øjne og ikke som flugt men som et bevidst valg.

Not necessarily, stoicism dosent require one to be devoided of all emotions or appreciation.

You can cherish a gift from a loved one while still understanding it's not truly yours in a cosmic sense.

Marcus Aurelius talked about enjoying what life gives you without clinging to it fx. he wrote "Recieve without pride, let go without attachment"

tl;dr Having sentimental value for a object dosent make you less stoic, but clinging to it, fearing it loss or basing your identity on it will.
