We were pretty confident actually . edit I didn ' t say this to shit on the Browns , just how I remember it . Brady was coming back and we had just lost to the Bills . People expected a motivated and angry BradyPats team . <| sep |> How many packs of meth should I bring ? <| sep |> Just saw this . Let me know if you need any additional help ! I ' d like to try this out and give any feedback <| sep |> haaaappy happy cake dayyy ! <| sep |> Our chances created are garbage , because Wenger insists on playing Coquelin all the time . It ' s like our midfield ' s got one hand tied behind it ' s back without a world class playmaker next to him . <| sep |> Perhaps I was being too general . <| sep |> Here ' s a stoic answer to that question . You might read the Enchirideon , by Epictetus . It ' s very short , and is all of stoic philosophy in a nutshell . But to get to your question of how a stoic goes about finding meaning in life A stoic feels the urge to find meaning in life . First , the stoic realizes that an urge is a desire . Then , the stoic remembers that when a person desires something , that thing becomes her master . The desire shapes all of her actions , and she become a slave to it . See Enchirideon chapter 14 Then , the stoic remembers that she hates being a slave . The stoic restrains her desire . See Enchirideon Chapter 2 The stoic realizes that if she has to go and find a meaning in life , that means that the meaning is outside of her . She remembers that things outside of her control are not worth her attention . See Enchirideon Chapter 1 and chapter 14 The stoic remembers that she already has , in her immediate power , a meaning in life , which can be summarized as ' play the hand you are dealt as best you can . ' See Enchirideon Chapter 17 Another meaning can be described as , ' guard your freedom of will zealously , and do not give it up for anyone or anything . See Enchirideon Chapter 19 Since I ' ve taken up this view , I haven ' t felt much existential angst .
