Deep, these are similar Buddhist teachings.Desire is suffering.

Stoicism FTW

This is amazing. It's basically how i have felt for many years now but was never able to articulate.

Very profound! Self control is key and a life long discipline.

Stoicism speaks truth.

Can someone explain what is meant in the final sentence. "Do you think these...........very women whom they adore and get"?

Here’s my upvote sir. Epictetus goes hand in hand with MGTOW

I'm so impressed seeing this here! I've been on a Stoicism kick - more than a kick in fact but, bravo!

You guys should check out the epicueanism and stoicism subreddits. Really good stuff.

Wiser words have seldom been spoken. I can confirm that this is true.
