 the expensive watch when we're unable to
get these things because well we can't
afford them we feel bad like the
universe is opposed to us being happy
and that there's nothing we can do about
it
but the truth is that material things
only bring temporary happiness your car
will break down and your phone will
eventually freeze up and even when our
possessions still work perfectly hedonic
adaptation steps in and we start to want
something newer and shinier it's a
never-ending cycle
to escape the Trap of consumerism we
need to adopt a different attitude
towards our purchases and the dopamine
hit we get from them
to do this you can practice what the
stoics call voluntary discomfort this is
when you subject yourself to discomfort
in something you typically enjoy
the most common way people do this is by
taking a cold shower instead of a warm
one but you could also hold on to your
new phone until it's no longer usable
suffer through the cracks and lags and
let each new phone launch pass you by
if that's too much Start small next time
you go to the bathroom leave your phone
on your nightstand or your desk or
wherever sit with your thoughts on the
toilet instead of trying too amuse or
torture yourself by Doom scrolling
driving somewhere on a hot day
roll up the windows and drive with the
AC off or better yet walk
Marcus Aurelius emperor of Rome was a
practitioner of stoic philosophy he
ruled the Empire from 161 CE until his
death in 180 CE and was widely
considered a great philosopher king
although that may be a historical
exaggeration
as a leader he wrote down his stoic
influenced meditations likely as a way
of assuring himself while handling
significant responsibilities
they were intended for his own use and
not meant to be published widely but
fortunately we have access to them today
The Collection is called meditations
also called the inner Citadel in it you
can see how Marcus Aurelius applied his
learn stoicism to his daily life as
Emperor here are some of those quotes
that might be able to help get you into
a stoic mindset
thus we should employ the mine in all
parts of life when things occur which at
first seem worthy of high estimation we
should strip them naked and view their
meanness and cast aside these pompous
descriptions of them by which they seem
so glorious
Marcus Aurelius would routinely reflect
on the nature of his food as devoid of
the pleasures and Sensations he
instinctively derived of it
a fish is just flesh necessary to
sustain you ignore the pleasing tastes
and satisfaction of filling up
when you bring your favorite lunch to
work break it into its most basic
components the salad is just leaves and
the fruit of a plant croutons are just
wheat smashed into flour and combined
with yeast to make bread
is then cut into pieces and dried and
melted by doing this when you're stuck
with a lunch you don't love or the
waiter gets your order wrong you won't
be as burdened by the thought of eating
it or feeling the absence of something
more delicious
lunch is just raw materials to give you
energy
Marcus Aurelius wrote a great deal about
how we interpret and interact with
others
he adopted the metaphysics of stoicism
as a way of thinking about her
interactions and emotions
for stoic philosophers the universe is
made from an intelligent design
humans too are part of that same
intelligence it doesn't make sense to
hate the same intelligence in another
because the same intelligence in you
it's similar to the Hindu concept of
brahmana the deity that permeates
everything
I can't be angry at my Kinsmen or hate
them we were naturally formed for Mutual
assistance as the two feed the hands the
eyelids and the upper and lower rows of
the teeth
opposition to each other is contrary to
Nature all anger and aversion is in
opposition
we may think of ourselves as in
competition with others we compete for
better grades at school and put down
others to get a leadership role at a
company but that's a Surefire way to
live a life of envy and Malice
if you see everyone as part of the same
intelligence trying to put others below
you would be foolish you are the same in
treating others as lesser is contrary to
Nature
seldom or any found unhappy for not
observing the motions and intentions in
The Souls of others but such as observe
not well the Motions of their own souls
or their affections must necessarily be
unhappy
this reminds us to focus on what is in
our control our attitude
trying to analyze others will often lead
to Misery we spend too long considering
why people behave the way they do
in a state of resentment we question
their motives and success
most of us know someone who can't stop
complaining or gossiping about others at
their job
they're obsessed with what their
co-workers have and never seem
particularly happy
their time would probably be better
spent addressing their own mind as the
mind's fathers are outside of their
control
let us as I said be on our guard without
suspicion or enmity Aurelius is
cautioning himself to be prepared for
any attack or betrayal while at the same
time not presuming that others have bad
intentions
