Brother - this one resonates deeply with me. I had no idea this approach was based in stoicism.
For 15+ years I've held a belief that there is no good or bad, only desirable & undesirable. I've at times felt a little batshit crazy for quietly maintaining this belief. I've also found it to be very powerful in seeing opportunities & avoiding conflict.
I've also felt quite strongly to not amplify & propogate the fight narratives. For me this originates from my exploration of Buddhism & also the law of attraction. To directly oppose a force provides resistance for more force to be applied. If you give something your focus, you give it more power. Be like water.
Thank you for sharing your insight & learnings. 🧡🤙
