Different ways of coping. No boomber ever had to read the meditations or go to the gym
>>62143073the boomers who did DCA have generational wealth now
>>62143145Exactly. And young people are watching youtube videos about Stoicism and Carl Jung and getting hair transplants to deal with the real world.
>>62143155Stoicism is cuck mentality
>>62143073no, they just drank HFCS Soda, budweiser, sat their fat ass in a lazy boy recliner and stuffed their fat fucking face full of Doritos while watching the nigger felon league instead. Most boomers are complete fucking losers who only ended up retiring just because of their time in investments, not because they were some financial genius.
>>62143054Religion is the only thing that matters in this life. Follow that and you will be more content regardless of whatever situation you’re in
>>62144272>only thing that matters in this lifeYou mean easiest way to cope with the meaningless existence
>>62144272just as fentanyl
>>62144289Exactly this. It works on most people, and why shouldn't it. The smart ones are the truly fucked. Because we have to live in a constant state of realization of the madness of it all, and most of all, the inescapability.
>>62144238That's frankly a pretty retarded way of looking at itWomen have been unfaithful since the dawn of time and the only thing you can blame aurelius for was trusting somebody with bad faith actions. Getting assblasted because of every little thing is peak niggerdom and if rome acted like that (there are periods they did), the world would have been much worse off for it. Don't be le stoic and force yourself to passively take every loss, failure, and slight like a doormat; just don't chimp out at every opportunity because you think you can
>>62143054All you need is Catholicism and the rest will work itself out.
>>62144381>Women have been unfaithful since the dawn of time>trusted a womanWhy he trusted a woman if you say women were always unfaithful dumbass? Your statement is very incosistent, he is not to blame for trusting a woman yet you say trusting a woman is retarded. So why you defend him. Dumb. I really don't get the Marcus Aurelius dickride
>>62144435That's not even what I said, but I'm not surprised you can't see past an argument and a mindset somebody else gave you. 'Women have been unfaithful for forever' is not the same as 'every woman is going to be unfaithful for forever'I also dont follow stoicism, that macro's reasoning is retarded is my whole point. Defending against bad arguments is also not the same as 'dickriding,' but being brown will put you at a disadvantage for understanding that as well>inb4 n-not brown! n-no u!Then stop thinking like a nigger
>>62143054>self affirmations are things people that made it doI actually say >i am top 10%>i made itMultiple times a day
>>62144457>Women have been unfaithful for forever' is not the same as 'every woman is going to be unfaithful for foreverGood thing nobody wants advice about women from retards with such retarded statements
fcuk you OP I scrolled down and was accidentally breathing in when I saw that image and now I feel weird.
>>62144289Only people who believe that their ancestors were shat out of a monkeys ass believe there is no meaning to this life.
>>62144501Lol ok kid let's see if you gonna say that on your deathbed or if you get cancer. Retarded NPCs like you will never be saved
>>62144475>top 10%>made itkek
>>62143145a monk would live like this but without the faggot TV and gaming setupthat's what bothers me about these "Let me guess. You need more?" images, they're not based and ascetic if you have a faggot TV
>>62144519Wtf is that even supposed to mean?
>>62144982There's a few active anons on the board that just try to be as caustic and derisive towards any topic or poster as possible. There's at least 2 itt
>>62144982It means you are a retarded brownoid faggot basedboy cuck. Kill yourself
>>62144995>>62144996Boom right on cueThey are generally pretty quick to reply as well because that kind of derangement generally stems from being terminally online
I've read>how to win friends and influence people>art of war>12 rules by peterson>48 laws of power>atomic habits>the art of not giving a fuck>the art of the deal>meditations of auruelius(stoic)>4 hour work week>the secret>rich dad poor dad and the sequelAnd yet my life still sucks. And before you say "but anon your'e supposed to do the things the books say to do not just read them!" well I have. For example richdad poordad says to borrow money from your friends and buy a house, flip it and then give them back their money-the exact amount they let you borrow. Well I asked all my friends for money and NONE of them gave me any. Only one even asked what it was for and when I told him he laughed in my face and said "You have to know how to flip a house to flip a house."What the fuck
>>62145001>>62144995>generally pretty quick to replyThe irony. Also you have to be 18+ to post here
>>62144501>the meaning to this life is uhhhh if you're a good boy and follow this book, you'll have an infinitely long life after this one, 100% guaranteed, and in that life everything will be great, okay?
>>62143054>>nofapDifficult to do, confers immediate health and psychological benefits, and every normie has a bizarre level hatred for it.That should tell you something.
>>62144238Of course stoicism is a cuck mentality. It's a philosophy of decadence. No Greek during the peak of their civilization would have created something like stoicism the same way no boomber would have been interested in the meditations by marcus aurelius. When the real world becomes too painful, many people retire and create ways of coping.
>>62145428Real stoicism is a an "emptying"/devotion of yourself to higher Being. This is a living, communicative path that taps you into energetic circuits and correspondence. Stoicism as most people know it isn't transformative in any higher sense.
>>62145464Well, I meant decadence in the societal sense. Individuals live in a society. Stoicism was born exactly when the greek dream ended and that's why it became so popular. Same way as Epicureism. And that's why it is so goddamn popular now and you have depressed 21 yo kids talking about stoicism. It has become a meme. You're depressed? Read The Meditations and go to the gym, bro. The real world has become painful and people have to find ways to deal with the real world. ps. By the way, Seneca moral writings are way more interesting than Marcus Aurelius' Meditations
>>62145009Correct>t. full trust that I'm where I need to be when I need to be there
>>62145579retardmaxxing with extra steps
>>62145590I wish I could impart to you even 1% of the things I've seen, alas just know its sort of like a Chinese finger trap you know what I mean?>retardmaxxingOkay, okay! Based!

>>62144395... if you want to end up in hell
>>62144435Marcus Aurelius didn't trust the slut, he knew she was bad when he married her. Thing was, she was the daughter of the previous emperor who was a cool guy and Aurelius married her out of loyalty to him (plus he got to be emperor himself out of it).
>>62143054for me its several different stimulants and an ssriamazingly im still a husk of a human, its honestly impressive financially speaking
