Epictetus had a way of looking at things that has helped me find perspective.
"Camping places fix themselves in your mind as if you had spent long periods of your life in them.
You will remember a curve of your wagon track in the grass of the plain like the features of a friend."

Suspension of judgment whenever not practically possible. Thumbs up to that. Sometimes things just "Are". Not good, not bad, they just "Are" If they're not immediately eminently relevant they need no be anything.

Had an excellent movement at gas station on the way to shooting range today It'd have to be pretty spectacular to overcome the ambiance. Kudos you heathen. LOL

Heinlein's perception of philosophy showed strongly in his adult works. Most of it, I strongly identify with.
Scew .gov.
Screw everyone else's ideas of morality.
I only have to justify my life to me, and my loved ones.
Nothing like an author who writes an escape tunnel into the protagonist's abode.
Complete with lime pit in which to dispose of nosey federales.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

My own views on matters of the human condition are far superior to any others.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Frederich Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Göethe are actually my other two favs after Voltaire.

Maybe not exactly on topic, but intriguing nonetheless. Julian Jaynes. I found his theory, Origin of Consciousness, pretty fascinating. He's been dead for decades, but there's an organization that continues his research. https://www.julianjaynes.org

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation
