"The poor person is not someone who has too little, but someone who craves more" ~ Seneca, Letters 2.6
The Stoic problem with Fortune whether good or bad, is that it's not up to us or fully within our control. As Seneca pointed out, what Fortune gives you is not truly your own. It can be taken away. By contrast, that which is truly good - a well developed character - comes from within and is ours to keep. Money solves money problems, it may ease our burdens, but not our mind.
Welcome to your friendly neighborhood third space, a sanctuary where philosophy and conversation intertwine like the threads of an ancient tapestry. Join us for our weekly Stoicism gathering—sip on a warm cup of coffee, linger in thought, and immerse yourself in the wisdom of the ages. We are humble travelers on an extraordinary odyssey of self-discovery, learning to embrace our circumstances while reshaping our minds in pursuit of virtue. It is a thrilling voyage into the depths of our true nature. Step beyond the curtains of space and time with us, where eternal truths await, whispering their secrets across the ages. Let's make this existence meaningful for us all — one lifetime should be enough.
