I really liked this one, H/T mindyourbusiness:
Disclaimer: I’m not your Supervisor. These are my opinions after reading through these books a few times.
March 12
“Whenever someone has done wrong by you, immediately consider what notion of good or evil they had in doing it. For when you see that, you’ll feel compassion, instead of astonishment or rage. For you may yourself have the same notions of good and evil, or similar ones, in which case you’ll make an allowance for what they’ve done. But if you no longer hold the same notions, you’ll be more readily gracious for their error.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 7.26
I struggle with this one currently. When I look at all of the government officials who destroyed lives and denied medical services, along with people who cheer led and made excuses for them, it is hard to feel anything but rage. This is a reminder that the average person sees themselves as doing the best they can to fight a “pandemic” that the news has scared them into. That includes my mother, who really is smart enough to know better, but in conversation when I offered to send her what I was reading that convinced me it was all exaggerated, her response was, “no thanks, I’m pretty happy the way I am”. I will remember that she was trusting the experts and doing what she could to protect herself. This is not easy.

“Whenever you find yourself blaming providence, turn it around in your mind and you will see that what has happened is in keeping with reason.”
—EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 3.17.1
It is easy to feel wronged when things happen to me that I did not want to happen. When I had surgery and the subsequent infection, it was easy to say “why me?”. Not only was this minor compared to what other people have dealt with, what makes me so special that this thing which can happen to ANYONE, wouldn’t happen to me? If I can remember the world doesn’t care about me, either positively or negatively, then it will be much easier to retain perspective.
March 14
“Zeno would also say that nothing is more hostile to a firm grasp on knowledge than self-deception.”
—DIOGENES LAERTIUS, LIVES OF THE EMINENT PHILOSOPHERS, 7.23
It is important to be realistic about my shortcomings, this is difficult because I have a high opinion of myself. I don’t like to ask for help and this has bitten me a few times in my life. If I can not admit to myself I need help, then I will never improve and keep making the same mistakes in different areas.
March 15
“Were you to live three thousand years, or even a countless multiple of that, keep in mind that no one ever loses a life other than the one they are living, and no one ever lives a life other than the one
they are losing. The longest and the shortest life, then, amount to the same, for the present moment lasts the same for all and is all anyone possesses. No one can lose either the past or the future, for how can someone be deprived of what’s not theirs?”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 2.14
I will die someday, maybe soon. I will not be known past my great grand kids, if that far. I am not owed anymore than that and very easily could have been killed a few times in my younger years. I do not think I fear death, only the pain that usually comes with it. All I can do is live my life and understand these truths. My wife and kids know how I feel, so there will be no regrets there. I have told my wife if I die tomorrow, I have had the best life with her, so it is OK, I would rather have a short time with her than live to be 100 by myself.
March 16
“Hold sacred your capacity for understanding. For in it is all, that our ruling principle won’t allow anything to enter that is either inconsistent with nature or with the constitution of a logical creature. It’s what demands due diligence, care for others, and obedience to God.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 3.9
I do not let myself be ruled by emotion often. When I do, it’s usually anger. As long as I keep control of my thoughts , the anger stays away. When it does show up, it’s in a flash that shows up before I can counter it. I need to start anticipating these situations and ward them off before they become a problem.
March 17
“You are not your body and hair-style, but your capacity for choosing well. If your choices are beautiful, so too will you be.”
—EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 3.1.39b–40a
I am working hard to get back in shape. I also have long hair which I know is odd for a 50 year old man. These things are important to me. Why? I hate the feeling of being out of shape. I do not work out to impress other people and I do not let my running and gym time take over my life (much). As far as the hair, I am an 80’s metal head, and after 20 years in the Marines I missed having it. I am not perfect, this too is OK.
March 18
“Today I escaped from the crush of circumstances, or better put, I threw them out, for the crush wasn’t from outside me but in my own assumptions.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 9.13
I try not to let things outside of my control stress me out. If I am getting stressed because of an issue at work, I can take a few minutes to think about it and recenter myself. This will be tested on Friday, I have an appointment t the VA. Every time I put that stupid mask on I get irritated. Once I get irritated, I talk myself into anger. They think I have high blood pressure now. I do not have high blood pressure, except in there. I will listen to some relaxing music on the drive and try to ignore the stupidity of enforcing masks. I will also concentrate on the fact that no one makes me cover my nose. I am getting an elevated heartbeat typing about this. I need to remember, it is not the mask that pisses me off, it is my feelings about the mask and I have a choice in how I react. I will do my best to not let this affect me so much.
Today’s music is 80’s metal:
If you like Queensrÿche, Iron Maiden, Fates Warning and the like and have never heard of Crimson Glory you’re missing out.
I struggle with this one currently.
Wouldn’t the first tenet of stoicism be that it is about you and not anyone/everyone else? That at best we can master ourselves?
Yes, that’s what I struggle with.
I never realized how stoic my outlook on life is until you started posting these and I started reading them. Thanks, Ron!
You’re welcome.
The calls are always coming from inside the house.
True. Maybe the best answer to, “why me!” is, “why not?”
I do not let myself be ruled by emotion often. When I do, it’s usually anger.
Oh boy. I’ve been bad here. I’ve come close to losing it a few times with what I’m working on at work.
I think we all underestimate the sort of background level of fear/anxiety in our lives. I don’t get angry that much – more often frustration. But I think there is a background hum of fear/anxiety that we have just normalized.
For me, I think what got me onto this was the endless stupid COVID crap. Which I have put my head down and put up with, especially at work, because of my anxiety about money and fear of losing my job.
But I think there is a background hum of fear/anxiety that we have just normalized.
Yep.
Absolutely. It’s really fucking dangerous. (Gee, why are booze sales setting records?)
You might have a point there.
I did better this time at not getting too riled up by myself at the hospital, but it was still there and the blood pressure was still high.
they are sending me a home tester and I will do a video call with a nurse to see if I am correct about the stupid mask pissing me off and giving high pressure readings.
I do not let myself be ruled by emotion often. When I do, it’s usually
Dos Equis.
” I have had the best life with her, so it is OK, I would rather have a short time with her than live to be 100 by myself.”
Quoted for truth, and I still get to be 100, maybe.
I would rather go first if I had the choice, and that is mostly selfish.
I got The Daily Stoic and Meditations on my Kindle. I’ve only scratched the surface so far, but I’m really looking forward to digging into this more.
Thanks for doing these, Ron. Who knows…your sharing may lead to another person (maybe more than one) making an impactful, positive change in their life.
I’m already the best possible version of me, but I appreciate what he does for the rest of you. ?

A few weeks ago, I said this was my theme song.
Apparently, I was wrong and its Sean’s.
I second MikeS. I think I was kinda aligned with Stoicism, but I really enjoy these.
Good to hear.
I read through both of those a couple times and then expanded to the other books I have listed up top.
That’s one of the reasons I started posting these.
Before I scroll up and read the stoics….

JUST IN: The White House is briefing TikTok stars about the war in Ukraine — On Thursday afternoon, 30 top TikTok stars gathered on a Zoom call to receive key information about the war unfolding in Ukraine, Washington Post reported Friday.
Shouldn’t they skip the white house feed and get the messaging directly from their chinese masters?
Oh come on, that can’t be real.
It’s just stupid enough to be believable.
Did you forget about this?

Ill take the thousand plus
Well, yeah, you’re only what? Half that?
I thought you were already past that.
There’s a good chance we will have no need for the contingency plans we’re going to be working on this afternoon given the updates I got this morning.
To be honest, I really don’t mind. Plans B and C are both more work than Plan A. Oh, I’ll still draw up Plans B and C, because it’s friday afternoon, and it’s the perfect time to be wasting time.
I [sarc]Love[/sarc] meetings where people start talking over each other.
At least that meeting’s over… until next week.
We must be going to the same meetings. It’s the worst on virtual meetings.
It didn’t cross the threshold into an outright argument, so there is that.
The saving grace is that the bureaucracy is delaying the item that is the deadline for the tech challenges to be overcome. The Comptroller has to review contracts in this dollar range, and they are still in their review period, so we can’t even bring the vendor people in, which is good because supply chain problems delayed the hardware, but we might have that online next week and get to the pre-requisites before the vendor even realizes we had aproblem.
Was it a GlibZoom?
I haven’t been on one of those in a while because they get too crowded. I always feel rude trying to insert myself into the conversation that clearly doesn’t involve me.
Work meetings however, I am an authoritative source for a lot of stuff, so I have less trouble getting my words in edgewise.
“After considering the proposals that are on the table, my view is that y’all motherfuckers need Jesus. Because it’ll be a miracle if this works out.”
Problem is, my boss and her boss’ boss were on the meeting. So I had to maintain certain decorum. (my boss’ boss was out today)
You should join up. Just drink a lot and yell over Hyperbole when he monopolizes the conversation.
Now that is funny right there for many reasons.
Would have been funnier if I called Hyperbole “she.”
It’s not my fault you people don’t run structured Zooms with topic and a moderator.
ouch
“Turn in your category and comment cards, please.”
Ha! Zing!
Great submissions Ron, thanks for doing these.
I’ve been getting really frustrated with my son lately so these are timely.
I hope they are helpful.
Wow, that is some military incompetence!
Oh JFC, that’s just what we need right now.
The Pakistani response was surprisingly muted. Must have hit someone they didn’t like anyway.
It’s almost written in cop speak:
An object discharged in the general direction of Pakistan.
There’s some kind of joke in there about technical support.
“We tried calling, but we kept getting some guy from new jersey. Couldn’t understand a word he said.”
Have you tried turning the missle on and off again?
Kindly do the needful with the missile.

To most Indians they did the needful and fired it right at Pakistan.
I always reacted to that as though they’d written “fuck off and do it already”. I don’t know why it irritated me so much.
I’m with you – the phrase irritates me.

The currency has only just begun to inflate. (Stolen, but reposting)
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/treasury-secretary-yellen-likely-another-year-inflation
Wonder what changed in 4 months?
https://www.npr.org/2021/11/03/1051877079/treasury-secretary-janet-yellen-inflation-climate-cop26
‘Yellen added in the CNBC interview that she does not “expect a recession” in the United States ‘
… And we’re fucked. Nothing to do about it though, so try to stay stoic out there. Just setting expectations.
Well, there’s some Grade A horseshit. I give it six months before a major credit market implosion.
And this time, there’s going to be massive commodity inflation to go with the asset deflation. The middle class and below are going to get boned hard.
Yup, I think within the next 6 months too.
What asset classes? Homes specifically or across the board? :O
Stocks, bonds, real estate will take a hit. Precious metals will probably take a temporary downturn as everybody starts desperately raising cash, but that won’t last.
I don’t understand how home values can go down during inflation, except in as much as they need to make payments possible. Not saying it won’t happen it’s just hard to wrap my head around.
Same with stocks, except they shouldn’t be as affected by rates in my mind (margin traders hardest hit, I guess)
I guess if I think about it sad the time value of money it starts to make more sense.
Hyper stagflation?
My take: Everything you need to survive will get more much more expensive, everything you don’t will get liquidated to cope.
We’re going to have competing trends of deflation in assets and the currency leading to massive volatility. It’s going to suck.
It will be a bad time to be in luxury goods.
There’s a lot of luxury goods and a lot of the economy catering to luxury goods.
I don’t mean just watches and rolexes but the sort of luxuries a rich society is able to afford. Like overstuffed HR departments and pencil pushing. Those sort of parasites will fight tooth and nail to hold onto their sinecures.
Yes. We’re going to see a lot of flushing out of the unnecessaries, and it’s going to be a battle.
There’s a silver lining to all of this, but it’s going to be very unpleasant.
And I don’t underestimate how hard the government/Fed is going to try to implement a digital currency standard. This is the fight of the 21st century.
Candy. That’s the ticket. My double-cousin Russel worked for M&M-Mars for forty years. He always said that whenever the economy sucked, their sales went way up. His theory was that a candy bar is a cheap little thing, people buy one, eat it, and feel a little better for a while.
Related, these actions against Russia, or rather the widespread non concern is worrying me. Even if Russia pulled out of Ukraine and acceded to every demand (not in a pigs eye chance of happening), the sort of things governments and businesses have been doing (asset seizure, dropping business, MFN revocation, etc) will take years to unring. And that’s if Russia and every other unaligned country and even some aligned countries don’t get the clear message and start working on alternatives.
They will begin (already have really but kind of half measures) working on alternatives and they’d be crazy not to. It cannot be more clear that the entire western dominated financial system can and will be used as a blunt cudgel if the perceived need arises. Look for some no shit non halfhearted efforts into establishment of an alternative reserve currency once this Ukraine thing shakes out.
Gustave, I don’t think we’ll see that bell unrung. Civil asset forfeiture isn’t going anywhere and neither is this crap… Whatever it is.
she does not “expect a recession” in the United States
Then she is either lying or an idiot. The gold standard advance warning of a recession is the yield curve inverting.
Guess what is happening now? Which she certainly knows about, BTW.
Hm, didn’t that happen like 6 months ago as well, though?
I think it was briefly inverted in early 2020, just as COVID was getting going. I also think I recall that we dodged being in a technical recession (two consecutive quarters of negative growth) by a hair in 2020.
I don’t recall it being inverted last year, but I don’t follow it all that closely.
You’re correct. I have a shit memory, geeze.
Maybe she expects a depression in the US?
I’m a bit surprised that it hasn’t happened already. When we moved back to TX in May 2020, I thought we had 18 months until a recession.
Money printer working overtime to push it out, I guess.
?
We’re going to pay for it dearly now.
I don’t know if it would count as stoic, but I am generally unfazed by people and events around me that I know I can’t or shouldn’t control.
I have a high threshold for pain.
What can unbalance me in a real hurry is injustice, whether toward me or someone I love. Being falsely accused, or being wronged with no consequences to the wrongdoer. RAGE MODE ACTIVATED!!! I try to choose my battles better now though.
Would you say your anger is… Explosive?
We have a 10-66 HQ. I repeat a 10-66.
Yeah, my 2 are when I’m wrongly accused and when somebody is shirking their duty. Those move me right to 11. Everything else I’m down around 1.
I try to choose my battles better now though.
OW, not your fault, that’s just a very sensitive nerve. My whole life I have been so bad at this.
This one just jumped into my head like a bolt from the blue.

As long as we don’t call it a recession, there is no recession.
Just think of it as getting ready for another round of Funemployment, only this time with extremely high energy prices.
It’ll be a funcession!
As long as I get my Soma and my Victory Gin I’ll be fine.

I don’t understand how home values can go down during inflation, except in as much as they need to make payments possible. Not saying it won’t happen it’s just hard to wrap my head around.
Interest rates.
Right, I agree. Somehow I have been assuming that pay will also rise, as it had been lately, but there’s hardly any guarantee of that I suppose, and anyway won’t make up for doubling of interest rates for most people.
Yup. People don’t buy the purchase price, they buy the monthly payment. Interest up, monthly payments up, what gets adjusted is the purchase price.

If only they would commit seppuku as a group to commemorate the milestone.
Kafoury hopes the event signals to residents to “take a moment to grieve for those we’ve lost and also to grieve for what we’ve lost as a community,” she said.
I have a feeling she has different metrics for measuring that than we do.
I guess I need to apologize to Kamala Harris for the criticism I’ve leveled at her. Turns out I’ve been completely unfair to her because I am a racist, misogynist, and…*checks notes*…oh yes; I am angry about the deserved criticism that Sarah Palin received and I want some payback.
Ugh. Note to self: 1st step to becoming a Stoic is to stop clicking on any story having anything to do with The View.
Someone should ask those harridans if they agree that Kamala Harris is the pinnacle of human evolution, or, by disagreeing with that statement, admit they are racists and misogynists.
Mike, I’m guessing you didn’t know that Kamala is a small person, and you being a much larger person are just trying to take her spotlight. And that’s wrong.
No, he just wants to date Kamala.
*golf clap*
The View?
Why would you do that?
db…listening to the safety debrief about that incident… man. Pilot admitted he should have went around rather than try to make left turn base less than .23 miles from rwy.
hahahah, you think?
They are asking why our taxiway prediction safety logic didn’t go off…uh…cause he practically turned right onto it…
What, that’s not the definition of “stabilized approach?”
In one sense that’s a helluva landing.
Jam it in there man.
I flew with a guy one time who side-slipped a Mooney from 3000 feet almost directly over the runway and landed.
Or rather, he had me do it as I was still learning and he was an instructor. My asshole was rather tight.
Dr. Girlfriend is headed out with her friends to go see the Pens/Knights game tonight, so I’m breaking out the sous vide and prepping a ribeye.
Nice.
I’ve done both sous vide and reverse sear – I get the argument about the sous vide method resulting in a lot more moisture on your meat (phrasing!) and, thus, harder to get a good final sear but the fool-proof-ness of sous vide is just so great.
I make sure to rub the meat dry before searing
Make sure you pat it down before you slap it on the grill
I do dry it off as best I can, still seems to end up being more dry with the reverse sear.
Either way, I haven’t done it in a bit – my exhaust fan isn’t really up to the task, so the whole (small) place ends up smelling of seared meat. Somehow my wife thinks that’s a bad thing.
Way to ruin the joke Carl.
I know, I know. I’m the worst.
We do the sear on our grill after sous viding. We’ve got one of them fancy “infrared” burners, which isn’t infrared at all, but jiminy does it get hot.
We got a grill from a friend (free! just disassemble every single gas valve and clean/unjam it) that has one of those. It does a great job of searing. I don’t think I can use it tonight though because it’s too cold to get a good flow of propane out of the bottle.
I have a good searing griddle for our cooktop though, so that’ll work.
I love how the gun grabbers in Congress are falling over themselves to arm Ukrainians with the sort of weapons that are far beyond the type they wish to grab. And yet the cognitive dissonance prevails.
What was it, no more than a couple years ago them saying “You think you can fight us with your AR-15s? We have F-15s and nuclear weapons!”
Oh shit I just figured it out. This is all being engineered to get Putin to nuke the deplorables for them.
I think they may have miscalculated, because Russian rocketeers probably have a different target list…
The Ukrainians pinky-swear that only trained soldiers will get them. I mean, come on.
These are all kind of related. I’ve been reading about the necessity of shrinking your world when things get too squirrely. The idea that you let go of that which is not in your immediate circle (self, family community) and focus instead on where you can make real improvements.
I can’t do shit about Ukraine or the out of control government, but I can take of my health, knowledge and the well being of people around me.
Good stuff as always, Ron. Thanks.
It’s really the fun reliving Jimmy Carter.
Biden to ban U.S. imports of Russian vodka, diamonds and seafood
Three things I don’t need. Meh.
And with Palmetto State bringing steel case commie caliber manufacturing to the states, I don’t need anything from Russia.
Sucks for the Russian businesses, though.
Punishing people for their fucked up government is pretty uncool.
That’s the dilemma, though. The only way to get to a fucked up government is through their subjects – all governments exist behind a human shield (by design).
If you’re not willing to inflict collateral damage, its impossible to engage. And the fucked up government gets its way.
Collateral damage is usually accidental I’m reaching the enemy, purposefully targeting civilians is different.
What do want to bet government officials sent their staff out to buy up caviar first?
