"Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. Things either are what they appear to be; or they neither are, nor appear to be; or they are, and do not appear to be; or they are not, and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task."

Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

"Two elements must therefore be rooted out once for all—the fear of future suffering, and the recollection of past suffering; since the latter no longer concerns me, and the former concerns me not yet."

"“It is nothing—a trifling matter at most; keep a stout heart and it will soon cease”; then in thinking it slight, you will make it slight. Everything depends on opinion; ambition, luxury, greed, hark back to opinion. It is according to opinion that we suffer."

"You will die, not because you are ill, but because you are alive; even when you have been cured, thesame end awaits you; when you have recovered, it will be not death, but ill health, that you have escaped."

"What else is there which you would regret to have taken from you? Friends? But who can be a friend to you? Country? What? Do you think enough of your country to be late to dinner? The light of the sun? You would extinguish it, if you could; for what have you ever done that was fit to be seen in the light?"

"So near at hand is freedom, and is anyone still a slave?"

"Would you not think him an utter fool who wept because he was not alive a thousand years ago? And is he not just as much of a fool who weeps because he will not be alive a thousand years from now? It is all the same; you will not be, and you were not. Neither of these periods of time belongs to you."

Are you living your life on auto-pilot? It’s easy to get caught in the slipstream of daily routines, but there is a certain magic in taking the controls and choosing to be here now.
This vintage biplane design is more than just aviation art; it’s a call to action for anyone who loves intentional living and the thrill of the open sky. Whether you are a pilot, a travel lover, or someone practicing mindfulness, this retro airplane illustration serves as a visual anchor to stay grounded in the moment.
Inspired by classic flight school aesthetics and minimalist typography, this piece looks incredible on a graphic tee, framed art print, or a minimalist hoodie. Stop drifting through the clouds of "tomorrow" and start navigating your "today." ✈️

The feeling of failure is also un-Stoic. Meditate on how you can correct yourself in the future.

A message from Ryan Holliday's The Daily Stoic:
"Diogenes of Sinope said that we sell things of great value for things of very little, and vice versa."
- Diogenes Laertius,
Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, 6.2.35bSomething to think on. Stay safe tomorrow, humans.

I'm sure more competent authorities will be along in due course, but if you would accept assumed/implied gratitude, may I submit the lyrics to the Bare Necessities?Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Well next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life
Will come to you
They'll come to you!
Oh man this is really living
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
