wikiwander 2
In his Meditations, Marcus Aurelius defines several such practices. For example, in Book II, part 1:
Also, Stoicism, unlike Christianity, posits no beginning or end to the universe, and no continued individual existence beyond death.
"Permit nothing to cleave to you that is not your own; nothing to grow to you that may give you agony when it is torn away."
"Outward things cannot touch the soul, not in the least degree; nor have they admission to the soul, nor can they turn or move the soul; but the soul turns and moves itself alone."
Cosmopolitanism is the ideology that all human ethnic groups belong to a single community based on a shared morality. This is contrasted with communitarian and particularistic theories, especially the ideas of patriotism and nationalism.[citation needed] Cosmopolitanism may entail some sort of world government or it may simply refer to more inclusive moral, economic, and/or political relationships between nations or individuals of different nations. A person who adheres to the idea of cosmopolitanism in any of its forms is called cosmopolitan.

Say to yourself in the early morning: I shall meet today ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All of these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill... I can neither be harmed by any of them, for no man will involve me in wrong, nor can I be angry with my kinsman or hate him; for we have come into the world to work together...

wiki spinoza blah
That humans presume themselves to have free will, he argues, is a result of their awareness of appetites while being unable to understand the reasons why they want and act as they do.
For him, even human behaviour is fully determined, with freedom being our capacity to know we are determined and to understand why we act as we do. So freedom is not the possibility to say "no" to what happens to us but the possibility to say "yes" and fully understand why things should necessarily happen that way.
On the contrary, he contended, an emotion can only be displaced or overcome by a stronger emotion.
reality is perfection. If circumstances are seen as unfortunate it is only because of our inadequate conception of reality.
emotion is formed from inadequate understanding. His concept of "conatus" states that human beings' natural inclination is to strive toward preserving an essential being and an assertion that virtue/human power is defined by success in this preservation of being by the guidance of reason as one's central ethical doctrine.
opinion, reason, intuition
intuitive knowledge provides the greatest satisfaction of mind
Martial Guéroult suggested the term "Panentheism", rather than "Pantheism" to describe Spinoza’s view of the relation between God and the world. The world is not God, but it is, in a strong sense, "in" God. Not only do finite things have God as their cause; they cannot be conceived without God.[29] In other words, the world is a subset of God.
"Spinoza expressly denies personality and consciousness to God; he has neither intelligence, feeling, nor will; he does not act according to purpose, but everything follows necessarily from his nature, according to law...."[31] Thus, Spinoza's cool, indifferent God [32] is the antithesis to the concept of an anthropomorphic, fatherly God who cares about humanity.
"If by eternity is understood not eternal temporal duration, but timelessness, then he lives eternally who lives in the present."

the little feat of getting out of a 40 euro ticket
To Whom it May Concern at the BVG:
I feel that I have been taken advantage of as a foreign visitor to Germany. The front tire of my girlfriend's bike had gone flat, so I decided to buy a ticket on the subway, therefore I had a ticket, however I did not have an extra ticket for my bike. I don't speak German very well, but from what I gathered, it is supposed to be obvious that I was to buy an extra ticket for my bike, however at the ticket machine, when I picked the option "single ticket" on the screen, I was not also given the option on that page of adding a bike. After your colleagues issued me their fine, I went to try an buy an extra bike ticket, and I had to look around for about 3 minutes to find where I could even buy one. Your company hides the option in an alternate menu instead of making it obvious, no wonder I had not bought a ticket! Your system is impractical and takes advantage of the guest's time. It can not be assumed that every foreign visitor to this city will know how to read the whole rule g
uide in german. It must be made clear VISUALLY ON THE TICKET MACHINE PAGE that bikes must be added to a single ride ticket. This is how it was in Vienna, New York, London, in any other functional capital city that I have been in. In conclusion, I am willing to pay the extra part of the ticket, the 1.50, which I did not pay earlier, however I will not pay 40 Euros for having bought a ticket. The point of giving out fines is to punish people who do not want to abide the by the rules of the system. I am not one of those people. I write this in English also because my German is not nearly good enough to have been able to read all of your rules, nor understand what was going on when your colleauges were accosting me. I am a visitor here and I really feel taken advantage of, and am disturbed by the lack of hospitality that I was greeted with by your colleagues and the system. I will be here for a little while longer and I am willing to pay a reduced fine to cover the costs of the
bike ticket, however I am not going to just hand over 40 euros to your company because it is too strong to say no to. To me, that is totalitarian, and unjust. I am sorry to have to share this experience with you, thank you very much for your time, I hope you can see my reasoning and will be willing to discuss things on a human level with me, it's the least I could ask for at this point. Thank you again.

uncovering the secret to reactionary american chauvinism during an averted bike accident
Dear Reader(s),
In the winding hours of the late evening new evidence came in from abroad, that the reason there are criminals are the same reason there are crimes, because one person is not any less fallible than the next, though either or may be more powerful. YIKES.
Today marks another day of bad decisions made in the blink of an eye, barely realized until it was too late to say sorry to a stranger. Yes folks, I almost killed another baby, potentially.
The story goes like this:
Young underworked white male wants to pretend he can ride his racing bike really fast. To accomplish this he cuts off of the nicely delineated German bike path and into the road without looking at traffic behind him. He underestimates the space he´ll need to get around a white parked sedan, forcing a middle aged white male in a black coupe to swerve around him. Beep. The young man is put off by the loud noise. The black coupe comes to a halt up ahead and the young man spitefully bikes passed him. Beep. Again, the young man is put off, but he slows down somewhat. The man driver pulls up. Both are perturbed, the young man refuses to apologize and for a moment, hates everything, despite the nice demeanor of the older man. "You could say sorry at least," the older man says in German. Hate hate hate. The young man nods and turns around to cross the road behind the black sedan. Memories of bike accidents and angry drivers from back home in the states crowd his mind. He is sorry that he was not nicer to the perturbed German, though he is glad that he did not spit on his car for no good reason. He could be dead.
Karma takes its course.
He remembers months of misery after having destroyed the tail light of another car not even so long ago.
He called his mother then, but twice? Enough.
He writes about his experience to justify it and to forewarn that the streets are dangerous because you have no idea what you will do next when you´re on them.
