I'm really glad you posted this. I stumbled upon the link in a comment. This was a necessary refresher to lessons learned and later forgotten. As a young boy I began defaulting to what I later found to be known as a stoic behavior/mindset as a defense mechanism. It certainly served me well and in self-reflection ultimately brought me much insight and happiness. I feel I've strayed as of late. My comforts have made me weak, my rise from poverty to financial stability has made me complacent. This was a nice knock on the head to make me realize I've began caring about things that don't matter and have lost appreciation for certain things in life. Thank you for posting.
