Fear has been a lifetime struggle. Only in my case, I let it restrict my life. Now at 66 I will face many of my fears and nauseously power through. Because I've lived a long life and seen firsthand there are worse ways to go out. Bravo for this video! Entertaining and very relatable. 👏👏👏
"Memento mori" (a Latin phrase that translates to "remember that you have to die" or "remember death") . As long as you realize that it's normal to remember death...the Stoics left that gem. None of us make it out alive....but I'm not saying anything to you that you don't already know!
Honestly, that's the one I struggle with...is it fate or is there a plan for me personally? I have to believe it's all a plan...but then I'd have to believe in God. And I struggle with that everyday. But then there's that pesky word "faith". You're smart...you know where I'm going...but I do appreciate your personal brand of philosophy (and of course, faith in human's overcoming and adapting)!!
I don’t really take the Stoic concept of Amor Fati as literal, in the sense of the literal translation. Wondering if fate and God is a thing and all that is unproductive and will fuck us up and bind us from what it is really pointing at. What I’m talking about is an experiential thing, a melting into reality just as it is. Appreciating a moment just as it presents independent of anything outside of us simply existing. “Love the moment” would be more apt. Or really- “dump all your baggage and bullshit and see what’s left” hits closer to the mark. It’s more a practice, a fake it til you make it and then eventually- you make it to the center of this existential tootsie pop and that is something hard to describe.
Thanks Shawn. I'm no artist or art critic, but I reckon the way you use AI in that is super cool. Really added to the atmosphere. And spit and drippy d@#cks hahaha!!
As to your central tenet, like many of your listeners I managed to get a dose of the old PTSD. But your monologue on fear was maybe the ah, linchpin, I needed to hear to return to something I've been avoiding like the plague. Mayhaps!

Memento Mori leads to Amor Fati if you do it right😉

We do seem to get wiser to the world as we get older, don't we?
Some do😉
