"Fan Deng Book Club" recently introduced a new book, "The Consolation of Philosophy". The ancient Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca was born into a wealthy family, but had an unfortunate fate.
Later, he became the teacher of the crown prince against his will. Fifteen years later, he was sentenced to death by the king's former student. Seneca had a rough life and suffered many setbacks, but he was able to deal with changes calmly and calmly.
His philosophy told him that things in the world are unpredictable. Not only are natural disasters, birth, old age, illness and death unpredictable, but also intrigues and mutual killings in the world are unpredictable. Blaming others will not help. "Philosophy teaches us to adapt to the full range of reality, so that if we are not immune to frustration, we are at least immune to the full poison of frustration caused by emotional excitement."
Philosophy gave Seneca "life and wisdom", and he "repaid" philosophy by calmly coping with the changing fate. Seneca said: If you want to eliminate all worries, imagine that everything you fear will happen.
And I often have inexplicable anxiety. Anxiety covers everything, family, husband and wife, work, education, friends. After careful study, there is indeed a feeling of unfounded worry. There is always one, even if it happens suddenly, what should I do? Sometimes, my phone suddenly runs out of battery. It's already 12 o'clock, and I'm still anxious. What if my family in Yunfu suddenly calls me and they have urgent matters and they can't contact me? Therefore, there is this novel.
This story is a complete fabrication.
(I know it's unreasonable, but what I'm afraid of is this unreasonableness)
Purpose: If you write down the things you fear in words, will it become less scary?
