- He who is unfair, is also disrespectful. The universe made all of us to help each other and be kind, so if someone goes against that, they’re basically disrespecting the universe itself. The universe is like the parent of us all, and we should all respect it. If someone lies or goes against what’s right, they’re not only being unfair but also disrespectful. Going for pleasure and avoiding pain isn’t right either, because it means you might end up blaming the universe for not giving you what you want. And if you fear pain or go after pleasure too much, you might end up doing things that are unfair and disrespectful. Basically, we should all just go with the flow of nature and not get too caught up in pleasure or pain.
- Bruh, like, the smarter move for sure would’ve been to dip out before dealing with all the fakeness, lies, materialism, and arrogance. But like, as a backup plan, at least leave this world hating all that stuff. You seriously wanna keep chillin’ with wickedness when you haven’t learned your lesson yet? Like, corruption of the mind is way worse than any physical sickness, man. This toxic vibes are bad news for animals, but especially bad for us humans.
- Don’t trip about death, just accept it and be cool with it, ya know? It’s just another thing that Mother Nature intends. It’s like how growing up, getting old, losing teeth, growing a beard, going grey, and all that other life stuff happens. Death is just a part of the cycle, man. So, instead of being all impulsive or disrespectful towards it, have some chill and wait for it, just like you wait for a baby to be born. Your soul will bounce when the time comes, just like a baby being born.
- If you sin, you’re only hurting yourself. Being unfair makes you worse off. It’s not just doing something wrong that’s unfair, but also not doing something when you should.
- If I’m vibing with what’s up rn, and I’m spreading good vibes, and just all about that good energy, then I’m all good, fam.
- To erase the excess, to think carefully, to control your desires, to keep your mind clear for yourself.
- Bro, like, let me break it down for you. So, basically, every creature has its own vibe, right? And there’s this one soul that’s all about being reasonable, but it’s split between all of ’em, you feel me? Just like how there’s only one Earth, one light, and one air we all share. Each thing is drawn to what it’s made of, like earth stuff goes down, liquids wanna mix, and air wants to flow together. Fire is all about that up and up, and it’s super quick to get lit if there’s no moisture to chill it out. And yo, anything with that common nature just wants to be with its squad even more. So even the animals had their groups and love vibes going on, ’cause deep down, they had a little soul action too. But the humans, bro, they were on another level. They started cities, bonds, families, meetings – even during their fights, they were all about coming together or making peace. And check this, even the stars and planets, despite being mad far apart, found a way to connect and vibe together. The more epic something is, the more it’s about that unity life. But here’s the kicker, fam. Humans, the ones with reason, are the only ones tripping these days. Instead of being down to unite like everything else, they’re all divided and out of sync. Even if they try to fight it, nature always wins, man. So, like, you feel me when I say that it’s easier to find something earthy in a non-earthly place than it is to find a human who can truly live solo, right?
- Bruh, everything and everyone has their own unique talents and abilities. Things happen when they’re meant to happen. Even though the word “reason” is usually associated with certain things, its essence still holds true. Reasoning can produce benefits for others as well as itself. It has a way of spreading and multiplying.
- Teach them better if you can; and if not, remember that being patient with them is all about kindness and goodness. The gods are kind to people like that; they even help them with things like health, wealth, and honor. They’re super chill. So why can’t you be like that too? What’s stopping you?
- Don’t work like someone who’s doomed to be miserable, or someone who wants to be pitied or admired. Just focus on doing what’s right and fair, and following the law of kindness and community in everything you do.
- Today I totally got rid of all my problems. Like, I totally ditched all my problems; basically, whatever was bothering you wasn’t coming from outside where you could just walk away from it, but from inside your own thoughts. You gotta kick that negativity to the curb before you can truly chill out and be cool all the time.
- All that stuff is just typical and boring; it’s only around for a short time anyway; and let’s face it, it’s pretty gross and nasty. Things haven’t really changed since our ancestors’ time – it’s all still the same.
- Bruh, like, the things that be stressin’ us out, they be chillin’ on their own without no way to communicate their vibes. So all good, what’s like, making the final call on them? Our understanding, fam.
- Like, being good or bad isn’t about how you feel, it’s about what you do; same goes for a kind and caring person – it’s not about how they feel, it’s about what they do.
- When the stone goes up, it doesn’t feel the impact when it comes back down; and it also doesn’t gain anything when it goes back up.
- Check out their vibes and perspectives, and see what kind of people they are, who you’re worried will judge you, and what they think of themselves.
- Like, everything in the world is always changing, dude. You’re also constantly evolving and, like, dealing with some level of imperfection. Same goes for the whole world, man.
- It ain’t your fault, it’s someone else’s mistake. Why stress about it? Let them deal with it, since it’s their fault.
- Of an op and of a purpose there’s an ending, or of an action and of a purpose we commonly say it’s at an end: from opinion there’s an absolute stop, which is like the death of it. In all this there’s no hurt. Apply this now to a dude’s age, like first a child, then a youth, then a young man, then an old man; every switch from one age to another is kinda like a death. And all this time here, no need to stress. Move on to that life first, like the one you lived under your grandparent, then under your mom, then under your dad. And when throughout your entire life so far, you’ve seen and noticed a bunch of changes, a lot of endings and stops, ask yourself: What’s there to be sad about in any of this? Or what are you actually suffering through any of this? If it’s none of these, then not even in the end and completion of your whole life, which is also just a change and stop.
- Bro, whenever you gotta make a decision, make sure you think about what you understand, the bigger picture, and who you’re dealing with ASAP. Trust your own judgement, don’t do anything unfair. Consider how you fit into the grand scheme of things. Think about the other person’s perspective, whether they’re clueless or in the know. And don’t forget, that dude is your family, so keep that in mind too.
- Basically, you gotta make sure everything you do helps improve the community you’re a part of. If your actions don’t benefit everyone in some way, then you’re causing trouble and being selfish. It’s like breaking away from the group and causing problems.
- Kids getting mad for no reason; just carrying around their negative energy so they don’t crash and burn too quickly: it’s like that sad song everyone knows.
- Check out the source of the outcome. Look at it alone, stripped down, without anything else around it. Then think about how long that source, with its specific qualities, can last and remain.
- Dang, you’ve been through a lot of struggles and hardships simply because you weren’t satisfied with how things were going or because you didn’t think it was enough for your mind to work the way it naturally does.
- When someone is accusing you falsely or being mean to you, just try to understand where they’re coming from and see who they really are. You’ll realize that their opinions shouldn’t bother you at all. Still, you should show them love because they are your friends in nature. Plus, the Gods are happy to help them out, so don’t stress about it.
- Yasss, the world just keeps on spinning with the same ol’ stuff, like always. Either the universe thinks things through before they happen or it already made up its mind about everything from the start. And if everything happens for a reason, then it’s all connected and meant to be. Basically, either there’s a higher power and everything’s good, or even if it’s all random luck, you can still make your own decisions and be good.
- In like a bit the earth is gonna bury us all, and then she gonna switch things up herself. And then it’s gonna keep going, moving from one forever to the next, and so on forever. Now can anyone who like really thinks about all these changes and how fast they happen, can they do anything but like not care and think worldly things are dumb? The universe is like a powerful river, sweeping everything along with it.
- And these so-called politicians, thinking they’re the smartest people around, acting all serious and pretending to be super moral and honest – in reality, they’re just total losers. Seriously, why are people so caught up in all this? Just do what feels right to you. Make up your mind, and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. Sure, you might not achieve some perfect society like Plato’s, but even a small amount of progress is worth something. And do any of these politicians actually change their minds for the better? All that pretending to be noble is just a front for their miserable existence. True wisdom is all about being genuine and humble. I don’t need to follow the likes of Alexander and the others. The real essence of philosophy is about being sincere and humble, not showing off and seeking attention.
- From like a bird’s eye view, peep below, peep below, peep below, you can see all kinds of vibes – from lit parties to chill vibes, from wild adventures to smooth sailing. The whole spectrum of life, from new beginnings to epic finales. Reflect on the past, vibe with the present, and look to the future with an open mind. Think about those who came before, those who are yet to come, and those vibing in different worlds right now. And remember, not everyone knows about you, not everyone remembers you, and not everyone will always dig you. So, don’t stress about fame, respect, or any other worldly things. The real vibe is to embrace what comes your way, flex when it’s in your control, and do good for others – that’s the real deal as a human.
- Many of those things that trouble and straiten thee, it is in thy power to cut off, as wholly depending from mere conceit and opinion; and then thou shalt have room enough.
- Bruh, like think about understanding the whole world and like, being fully aware of everything happening in this current time. Realize how quickly things change and how short-lived everything is. Everything you see will eventually disappear, and those who witness this decay will eventually fade away too. Whether someone lives to be a hundred or dies young, we all end up in the same place.
- Like, what are they even thinking and feeling? What do they spend their time doing, and what are they into? What do they like and dislike? Imagine being able to see into their souls. They get so proud when they trash talk someone, and they’re all about themselves when they praise someone. They’re totally full of themselves and their own opinions in those moments, you feel me?
- Loss and corruption, like, literally just mean change and alteration; and like, that’s what the universe is all about, you know? Everything that happens is like totally in line with the universe’s vibes. It’s been that way from the start and it’s gonna stay that way, you feel me? Or do you seriously think that everything in the world has been messed up for ages and is gonna stay messed up forever? And with all the gods out there, like, no one could fix things this whole time? Is the world seriously gonna always be full of pain and suffering?
- Bro, like, everything basic af and disgusting. Water, dust, bones – all that gross stuff that makes up our bodies is just asking to get infected and messed up. And then the things people idolize like marble stones? Just the earth’s nuts. Gold and silver? Basically the earth’s crap. Your fancy clothes? Just like a sheep’s hair and the color is from a shellfish’s blood. Like, everything is just like that, even life is just some blood vapor that can easily be something else.
.
- Is this constant whining and complaining never gonna stop? What’s the issue that’s bothering you now? Is there something new going on? Why are you so surprised? Is it the reason or the situation that’s got you worked up? Like, is it really that big of a deal? And really, that’s pretty much it. Also, you should probably start acting nicer and more straightforward towards the Gods, it’s about time you did that.
- It’s all good whether you see these things for a hundred years straight or just for three years.
- If he messed up, that’s on him, not me. But maybe he didn’t.
- Why you stressin’, bro? Just go with the flow and chill. Life is just a random mix of things, so why even trip? It’s all good for the greater vibes, so no need to worry about petty stuff.
- Are you telling your brain that it’s dead and corrupted? Does it also poop? Does it eat grass like animals do, making it mortal like the body?
- Bruh, like if the Gods can’t do anything for us, why even bother praying? But if they can, then why not ask for help to not be so distracted and messed up in the mind? Like, why not pray to not be afraid or crave all that worldly stuff causing all the chaos in your head? Instead of praying to get or avoid things, why not pray to stay chill no matter what happens? If the Gods can help us at all, then they sure can help us in this way too. And like, who said they can’t assist us with things we have control over? Maybe it’s better to use your freedom to free your mind, instead of chasing stuff you can’t control. And like, who knows, maybe the Gods can help with that too. Just pray for inner peace and see what happens, man.
- “In my sickness” (as Epicurus would say about himself): ‘I wasn’t talking about my disease when people visited me; my focus was on more important things. I spent my time contemplating how my mind could stay happy despite my body feeling ill. I didn’t rely solely on doctors to heal me because I was content with my current state of being. So, if you ever find yourself sick or in a tough situation, try to keep a positive mindset like Epicurus did: stay true to your beliefs and don’t listen to negative talk from others.’
- It’s like, pretty normal for everyone in any job to just focus on what they’re doing at the moment and the tools they need to do it.
When someone acts rude towards you, just remind yourself that there will always be rude people in the world. Don’t expect the impossible. Just accept that there will always be people like that around. Instead of getting upset, think about the virtues nature has given us to combat such behaviors. For instance, be kind and patient towards the ungrateful. And remember, it’s not your job to change someone’s ways, but to focus on your own well-being. Don’t let their actions affect your peace of mind. Blame yourself for expecting something different from them. Just focus on doing good deeds without expecting anything in return. After all, you’ve done your part. Man was made to help others, so focus on that without expecting anything more.
