Grandchild is going to pre school in the fall. We talked about if he is going to be mean or help the other kids. Answer : “I’ll help the other kids move out of the way.”

In the same year, ~1.3 million people died in road accidents.

The airline industry might be humans most profound achievement to date

5. The Headline-Death Gap

67% of deaths are from heart disease, cancer, and road incidents.

The New York Times barely covers these topics.

Why?

[What Is Stoicism? 🌷 @WhatIsStoicism]

Stoic reminder from Epictetus:

When we give things outside our control too much importance, frustration is certain.

If we focus more on what truly depends on us, then there isn't much that can make us angry.

[What Is Stoicism? 🌷 @WhatIsStoicism]

"Stoicism is a practical philosophy that provides an antidote for troubled times, while it also keeps our ego and excesses in check when things are going well."

The German national coach should resign over how he played İlkay Gündoğan during the World Cup. Hakt. A year later this is as valid as the day they didn’t make it out of the group stage.

[Andreas Loppnow @Elessar_81]

I watched a lot of Man City games this season and for the life of me I can not understand what the german national coach did with Gündoğan during the World Cup. He put him in the wrong positions and took him subbed him off. I do not get it.

Grand kid brought a stomach bug with him last weekend. After a week of various people puking I have a new found love for my washing machine and dryer. They are under appreciated helpers!
