“ Choose not to be harmed “ love that!

[Calidore]

“Choose not to be harmed.“ that’s good. There is no need to be outraged or to hurt anybody.

[uchicha]

You can learn something from toxic people. For example, how not to behave.

[PandaRehab]

Thank you for sharing. I am in the process of removing "I don't care" from my experience to avoid apathetic perspective. I am replacing it with "I am not concerned". It has been good to me, especially in social interactions.

Love u man
You have helped me a lot in my life

[kissarococo]

"not to trust schools but to hire private tutors" so wise, I worked in many public schools and the history teaching is so subpar I cannot tolerate being present there. Kids are just contained.

What we think of life is a perception, a judgement.
We need to become observers, not reactors.

[josephantony]

I'm not very vocal on any particular YouTube channel but without a shadow of doubt, I'm grateful for this channel and we need more of this. ❤️

[veganrican]

This channel has helped me a lot, my days are filled with anxiety and stress, this channel has helped me understand some root causes.

[LetsTalkPhilosophy]

As a creator I appreciate your words. Stoicism has helped me take from others valuable lessons; however at the same time not letting the malevolent individuals impede my progress.

[KNIGHT-TEMPLARS-]

"Choose not to be harmed " for me easier said than done🤷🏻‍♂️. I really admire people I know getting offended by others (narcissists😈)and not Do or Say anything afterward.

[verav]

I am very grateful for you for this channel! One of the most difficult times of my life became a turning point, and i used this calamity as an improvement.

[AgeofMachines]

This is some valuable info.
Lot of stress comes from looking at events catastrophically..
Amplifies pain 1000 fold.

[maerree]

When I feel like I need to escape my anxiety and chaos within myself. I found this channel. So much love and food for thought and soul all the time. Keep blessing others ❤️🙏 Stay safe.

Blessings come from a generous heart.
Those who give are the most blessed.
