A lot of wisdom in here :<)
I have looked into stoicism and taoism myself ( I'm pretty sure that quote by Zuang Zhou is taoist in nature ) and especially like the latter.
Both are very helpful approaches to life but - let's be honest - it's not the kind of things we ( usually ) learn in school. There's so many people who don't prioritize learning/ studying / leveling up and so on.
It's unlikely that they read blogs like this or dive into stoicism, taoism, Buddhism or philosophy.
What remains is, for those ( of us ) who do get a chance or create the circumstances to study this, to set the example, to shine our love and light on the darkness in the world. To not teach by preaching, but by our doing.
Big hug,
Vincent
