"As for Diseases of the Mind, against them Philosophy is provided of Remedies; being, in that respect, justly accounted the Medicine of the Mind."
~ Epicurus
What prompted this is my reading "Plato, not Prozac" by Marinoff.
It is about learning to think as a means to avoid and/or solve your everyday problems.
Time tested wisdom "rather than offering superficial New Age or pathology-oriented pseudo-medical approaches".
What a concept.
Uprooted and transplanted which leads to my view of the world being, sometimes, a bit different than most. Not always right, not always wrong. I just think too much and had to find a way to get it all out of my head.
