Nothing against this or other stoic ideas, but if you’re the only “enlightened” one while everyone around you is a reptile who is out for themselves, then you just end up a chewed up loser.

So you are saying people like the dalai lama are chewed up losers?

I always find it interesting to which length people go to not accept simple logic if it would hurt their feelings.

People like the Dalai Lama are losers in the conventional sense. How much of international policy (of any country) is determined from the teachings of Dalai Lama? Or at a smaller scale, how much of your immediate environment is determined from such principles? Every place is different, but the defining characteristics of any dominating force in history has been injustice, unfairness, and violence (on some level). It’s sad but true, doesn’t mean it can’t be different tho
