I have so many other posts lined up like book reviews and book recommendations one of which I wanted to post today. But recently I’ve made an observation that I wanted to share with you guys. I have mentioned my interest in and alignment with Stoicism before on this post. And it’s really helped me understand what I don’t have control over (my destiny as it’s predetermined at least that’s what I believe) and what I do have control over (my perception).
However, I’ve been thinking about Stoicism from my own perspective this own time. My destiny, my perception, my hinderances. What I am now also aware of is that just as I have my own pre-determined destiny, so does everybody else. Sometimes it hurts so much to see someone you care about do the wrong thing, say the wrong thing, take a path that’s going to cause them a lot of hurt. And as much as we try to help them see, if they are meant to walk down that wrong path they will do so regardless.
And I think that hurts more to accept than anything. Even more than going down the wrong path yourself. And it’s this thing where you feel so conscious and aware, you see the light. But no one around you does. No one else gets what you’re trying to tell them. Because it’s not their time to understand. Perhaps it will never be if that is their destiny. That’s something I have learnt recently and it has brought me much comfort today.
Edit:
This observation/post is more philosophical so for those of you that may not be interested in philosophy or Stoicism can feel free to skip it. No hard feelings. I know philosophy/Stoicism isn’t for everyone and not everyone believes in pre-determined destiny.
