You can do it, you need to change your thoughts. If you can please read about the Stoics. Lots of books about them. They helped me when I was studying them, and they still do.
Schools in the UK are still (unbelievably) required by law to have a daily act of 'broadly Christian' communal worship. Wouldn't it be great if the religious element was changed (or at least broadened) to something philosophical?
Too dangerous for the status quo. Any school teaching critical thinking is dangerous to those who want us quiet. I studied at Liceo Scientifico in Milan, red brigade years, we were watched under a microscope...any protest we attended got recorded
I like the idea of this, but my thoughts are definitely not always within my control (could be the ptsd, could be the other trauma, could be the unrestricted Internet access at a way too early age, who knows), but this image, while lovely in theory, could probably use a bit of a revision <3
Fantastic wheel of self regulatory and out of one's own control but bothering thoughts that play with you and you loose your peace trying to better yourselves.
