We successfully held our first meetup of my newsletter subscribers, with over 40 attendees. Thank you for coming and spending time together.
The picture above doesn't include everyone as we forgot to take a proper group picture. My absolute gratitude for our collective meditation and the debate about the difficulties of being a person of virtue in today's world. It takes true effort to be a modern stoic and I salute all of you. Let's improve together.
Only one woman showed up, which was disappointing (thank you, Isa!). I hope we have more diversity in future gatherings.
As agreed, all the proceeds were donated to Mansão do Caminho, a Spiritist center located in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
As Stoics, our motto is to "Live According to Nature". Seneca talks about this in a lovely manner on Letter from a Stoic.
The most critical concept in life is self-reliance. A man is revealed in how he reacts during difficulty. It is easy to be excellent in peaceful times.
We all suffer from problems, temptations, and disappointments. To experience success, you must have experienced failure.
