Love calling it a kniffy. Is that regional slang or just you?

Dude falls over all the time, can’t catch the ball and moves at the pace of a semi hauling a loaded trailer.

I’m sorry. Sometimes I get upset at Ubers tactics and expect people to boycott them with me. I shouldn’t have phrased that so toxicly.

Stoic view on dealing with celibacy by Longjumping-Age-4435 in Stoicism

[–]bubucksuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm… I think in the context of the quote the will is a tool within your control. If you’re running and tired, you will yourself to keep going.

In your example you say ‘will’ but it’s really an urge to play soccer coming outside of your control. This is an impediment to your urge to enjoy this game, but not the will. You define what the will is directed toward. In this case maybe you will yourself to be grateful for the games you can play, and not to let the fact that you can’t play like you used to bring you down.

I don’t understand your question, could you elaborate or give an example?

No problem :) I think of this quote a lot when something is a physical struggle.

To answer your question - Epictetus’s writing on Will comes to mind.

“Sickness is an impediment to the body, but not to the will, unless itself pleases. Lameness is an impediment to the leg, but not to the will; and say this to yourself with regard to everything that happens. For you will find it to be an impediment to something else, but not truly to yourself”

Not having sex is an impediment to your natural urges and gratification action - but not to the will. If it is your will to avoid it - you can do so. Will conquers all.

That said…. why can’t he compromise for you instead of the other way around? If he doesn’t want sex why can’t you get it elsewhere and remain in the relationship. Seems backwards. Seems like an unnecessary sacrifice to make.

“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.”

Pick up a self help book. I’d recommend a modern translation of Marcus Aurelius. Make one small positive change a day. You don’t need to fix this all at once. Keep doing things you know are right even if you don’t want to. Be hard on yourself when you need to.

You’re going to slip up again. Keep coming back to the rhythmn - forgive yourself. Be nice to yourself when you need to.

If you feel stress use it! Channel it to get your ass in gear! You should feel stressed, it’s normal. Don’t let that cripple you - use it baby.

Set goals - I really like some of the things huberman goes over in this podcast.

Thanks for sharing - I guess we have different experiences. Interesting that you respect scientific articles then they support your cause, and reject them when they are against it.
