“For the Greeks, #sophrosyne represented excellence of character, moderation and self-control. It was connected to #phronesis, or practical wisdom, ... I believe sophrosyne is still essential for the good life, the life of #eudaimonia – happiness and human flourishing. It’s not a transitory feeling, but a sense of being your best self. This involves a kind of satisfaction that is not possible without self-knowledge and self-control. What’s more, it requires the ability to discriminate between the good and the bad, the true and the false – capacities that are not inborn, but learned through steady practice. Without sophrosyne, it may not be possible to discern what is good for yourself or others.”

The Shape of a Life Well-Lived
Kisah filosofis ini mengajarkan bahwa hidup ideal bukan sekadar tujuan, tetapi kualitas dalam perjalanan. Ini melibatkan akar yang dalam, tindakan kebaikan, pengertian akan kekosongan, keseimbangan antara ekstrem, cinta yang membangun, makna dalam penderitaan, dan kesadaran akan momen saat ini. Teruslah hidup, seperti aliran sungai.https://legawa.com/2026/05/09/the-shape-of-a-life-well-lived/

https://aeon.co/essays/instrumentalisation-is-making-everything-a-means-to-an-end
>>In the era of late capitalism, our autonomous agency has increasingly been expressed through our status as consumers. Freedom is above all the choice of how to spend our money, with the promise that everything we need can be obtained in exchange for cash. The consumer mindset has affected how we relate to everything, not just the things we buy. The result is that the world has become essentially transactional, meaning that everything is an instrument for getting something else. <<

The most coherent Greek‑philosophical combo for prosocial misanthropy is:

Feeling lost or overwhelmed? A new study out of Turku, Finland, reveals that qualitative time in nature fosters eudaimonic well-being—a deeper sense of purpose, authenticity, self-acceptance, and meaningful connection.
In both teens and older adults, nature felt non-judgmental, easing self-acceptance and sparking personal growth, agency, and belonging—not just to people, but to all living things. It’s not simply a mood boost—it helps shape who you are.
Take a quiet walk, sit by water, or linger under a tree—nature may offer more than peace. It might help you rediscover yourself.#WellBeing #NatureHeals #Eudaimonia #ForestBathing #Mindfulness

New #WJDS paper: Julian M Jörs & Ernesto W De Luca introduce the Eudaimonic Interaction Inventory (EII), a new tool to measure how technology supports deeper well-being.
Validated across three studies, this 12-item scale captures four core aspects of eudaimonic well-being, helping advance research by quantifying meaningful, flourishing-oriented tech interactions.

Don’t immanentize the Eschaton!
It’s a bad idea.
Creepy Weirdos™ don’t listen to good advice.

Tears, gnashing of teeth, and anger is what they are trying to provoke.
Emotionally-stunted fnckwits cannot understand a world in which every human interaction is not a transaction.

“All the major philosophical schools in antiquity regarded #eudaimonia as the highest good, often even the very aim and purpose of philosophy, although the various schools, such as the Cynics, the Stoics, and the Epicureans, may have conceived of it in somewhat different terms.”

In a society with a high degree of non-linear, chaotic dynamics, driven largely by the ancestral will to power, which is worse in a "leader"—incompetence, or corruption?
It's hard to say, since _both_ completely miss what is actually needed for effective ongoing meaningful growth…

An excellent article in the Atlantic:
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/09/us-culture-moral-education-formation/674765/
>>>
There should be at least two periods of life when people have a chance to take a sabbatical from the meritocracy and live by an alternative logic—the logic of service: You have to give to receive. You have to lose yourself in a common cause to find yourself. The deepest human relationships are gift relationships, based on mutual care. (An obvious model for at least some aspects of this is the culture of the U.S. military, which similarly emphasizes honor, service, selflessness, and character in support of a purpose greater than oneself, throwing together Americans of different ages and backgrounds who forge strong social bonds.)Those sabbaticals could happen at the end of the school years and at the end of the working years. National service programs could bring younger and older people together to work to address community needs.

Flourishing, a term coined by Corey Keyes, is the presence of mental wellbeing. It's the opposite of #languishing and a key part of complete or positive mental health. Flourishing consists of psychological, emotional and social wellbeing.
Are you flourishing?

@fzzlkfly @philosophy two I believe that happiness should not be confused with an emotion, or even a "consumable" state of mind. As a young man I was taught that "happiness" might as well be an active state of balance - this idea has served me well. #eudaimonia
