@bookswithamanda212: Change is necessary. Change is natural. Change is good. According to Marcus Aurelius, one must learn to embrace and be open to change as that is not only a normal and necessary part of the human experience, but it’s a necessary requirement in order for you to also grow. People have a deep fear and anxiety surrounding change because they fear the unknown and fear the idea of not being in control, but life doesn’t care about your desire and need for control. The more you embrace change, the easier it will be to handle the curveballs life will inevitably throw at you. You will not develop or grow unless you change. #philosophy #marcusaurelius #meditations #stoicism #growthmindset
I think Marcus’ quote on loss is a bit dismissive. “Loss is JUST change.” Sure, but that doesn’t make it any less scary, painful, or difficult to accept and continue on. Sometimes the loss is minimal and easily accepted. You dropped your ice-cream cone. Sometimes it’s devastating and traumatic. You lost your partner, friend, or family member. You’ll be able to adapt to both, but to say the loss of something or someone dear is just change, that it’ll be for the better and help you grow, doesn’t mean it also isn’t scary and natural to want to avoid. Or even good for that matter

Would you be willing to respond to EMANGETALIFE’s epigenetics take? cuz that shit was wild and deeply misinformed, but I lack the means and ability to make a well formulated response. No pressure of course.
