“Suffer beautifully.” Incredible piece as always brother.

I often reframe the word love to acceptance. There’s obviously a semantic difference between the two emotionally, rationally, however, I’m not sure there is.

Complete acceptance of a person or circumstance is rational, unconditional love that can allow focus to remain on what we can control. Still playing with the idea but that reframe helps me with the concept of amor fati in response to life’s most difficult trials.

Appreciate you 👊🏻

“The second is to burn the world and everyone in it to ashes in anger that expectations were broken—nihilism.”

This is the option most revealed in today’s culture.

Good one Sam. The world keeps coming (fate) and we can only choose how to respond.
