🌿 STOIC POETRY - Falling into the "hole" of old age
Channel: ☀️softypapa
Date: 2024-02-19

🌿 In this reflective piece, I delve into the daunting journey into old age, a period marked by physical decline, waning mental sharpness, and an increasing disconnection from the bustling world around us. This video explores the eerie feeling of becoming a living artifact of the past, disconnected and estranged from society, and how stoicism can help navigate these inevitable changes with grace and wisdom.
