Why worry, stress or fear? This reminds me of this scripture; "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you". -1 Peter 5:7.

Anyway, extend my regards to your Dad. I know how uplifting such calls with my Mum are too. Have a lovely week ahead Antonius!

PS: Your writing style reminds me of one of my favourite book character's philosophical ideals, musings and instagram account, ie. Pei Tingsong in Fanservice Paradox by Zhichu

Thank you for plugging the bible verse Adaeze. Our parents are indeed quite full of wisdom to guide us through the dark nights of the soul.

I appreciate you for taking the time to read.

I just reread your article. Again it has given me some hope. I stopped writing on substack for a few weeks. After expressing my opinion on tRump his followers came down on me like a ton of bricks. I don't mind a conversation with people who speak using their mind but the vile personal attacks were just too much. Also why bother having a discussion with someone who has no intention of listening to any other point of view. I have not made a decision on whether or not to continue with substack but for now I am not putting my thoughts into words. After all what is one more small voice when far more learned people have no clue. Shalom

Thank you for reading Daniel. I hope you get back on track and keep expressing the truth. The world needs people like you.

I must say, this was a great piece, Seneca would have a lot to say about this topic. I found a certain comfort in reading this as a practising stoic myself. But I have adjusted it to my own philosophy, too.

Thank you for taking the time to read AP. I’ve been reading your work as well and I can’t wait to see how it’ll evolve with time.

Thank you, I needed that. I have been speaking out about tRump for years. At times almost sick with worry. Now thanks to your words reminding me of where I have been and what I have had to walk through I feel less alone.
