The Unconventional Wisdom of Laughter: A Stoic Perspective
Redefining Success and Finding Joy in the Journey
I have been studying the philosophy of stoicism for a long time and the most unconventional thing I have come across so far is a life-changing and revolutionary quote from SENECA.
It was such an unconventional and strange advice that I kept thinking about it for days. It completely shredded the skin of my thinking and gave rebirth to my thoughts.
My outlook on the very nature of life and myself completely changed and everything seemed to change a lot.
After years of practicing this strange piece of advice, I gradually realized that this quote was not unconventional and strange at all but at its core, it was the truest wisdom of stoics.
It was so straight to the point and harsh that it seemed a completely new perspective but it was actually the greatest unconventional advice I ever listened to.
During my theology study, I read hundreds of books from ancient to modern religions and their philosophies and outlook on life.
When we keep looking, things gradually open themselves to us and we are born again after every new discovery or even after reading a life-changing quote or a book.
