Be weary of who you call your friends. In one of Seneca’s letters to his good friend Lucilius, he writes about friendship and why it’s important to keep a quality circle of friends.
Many of the so called friends we have are what they call, fair weather friends. They are only around in the good times.
I implore many of you to study history, There is a lot to learn. One notable example is that of Julius Ceaser whose fate was an act by ‘friends’.
Enjoy this excerpt from the book Letters from a Stoic by Seneca.
Most of our biggest worries, fears and problems are because we assume a lot of things. We don’t talk about issues but assume. We assume someone hates us, we assume things are not working because we are not good enough. Etc etc.
in life, I have realized one thing, attack the assumption head on. Go and talk to the person or analyze the issue. You will be shocked to find out the truth.
Stoics say, “we suffer more in imagination than in reality”. I have found this to be true.

Funny thing about trolls is that they can’t sustain an argument started by them. In no time it’s name calling and this and that. Comrades, one famous man said, do not raise your voice, improve your argument.
