Stop Complaining... Especially To Yourself [Stoicism] [Meditations] | #Shorts This is a #Stoic tip from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. --- If you can do the job in front of you, then do it, and dont complain. If you cannot, then seek someone to help you and dont feel ashamed, but still dont complain, not even inwardly to yourself. --- For a wider explanation of this and for more stoicism, see the following: Vox Stoica, "Meditations of Marcus Aurelius - SUMMARIZED - (22 Stoic Principles)," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu0xDtK3g3Q Anglo Libertarian, "Only You Can Make Your Life Worth Living," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AeKiQ-fkmQ Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIWmKZZ33SA ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RgVyhgv3oU

To demonstrate the argument imagine Robinson Crusoe waking up on a desert island one day to find that some colourful mushrooms are growing outside of his hut that he decides to eat. These mushrooms make him hallucinate that he has a far greater stockpile of resources than he actually does, he sees nearly endless supplies of wood and food. Seeing this he would invest differently than otherwise, instead of fixing the leaky roof of his hut he builds a mansion, instead of building a small raft he builds a yacht --- this is what is called malinvestment. Upon the hallucinations wearing off, Crusoe would notice that this boom he just experienced has wasted vast amounts of resources, the standard Keynesian solution would say that he simply needs to eat more mushrooms to get another boom going, but we Austrians can see that it isn't the bust that is the origin of the problem, but the overconsumption present in the boom. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOWzvT7igs
