Today's Stoic Thought
“If you ever start taking things too seriously, just remember that we are talking monkeys on an organic spaceship flying through the universe.”Joe Rogan
When feeling overwhelmed by trivial matters, remind yourself of the vastness of the cosmos and the smallness of our existence in it. For example, when stuck in traffic and getting frustrated, take a moment to look at the sky and contemplate the infinite expanse beyond our daily concerns.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
The Psalm reflects on the insignificance of humans in the grand scheme of the universe, highlighting the contrast between the glory of God's creation and our limited place in it. This aligns with the Stoic idea of Wisdom in recognizing the importance of perspective and understanding our position in the cosmos.
