The Roman Stoics, The Buddha, the Christians, the Taoists, and many Hindu sages agree on so many things- especially the fundamental principle of Roman Stoicism!
How we can be happy by just not letting pain and stress get to us!
Read Marcus Aurileus, Seneca, Epictetus, the Taoist classics, the Buddhist sacred texts (there are many of them), and others to learn these things!
Read Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, any of the Stoic classics of Seneca, Epictetus and others, the Tao Te Ching, the Chuang-tzu, and the Buddhist sacred texts for more- all of them can teach you how to let pain and suffering not get to you!
That is the key to Paradise!
If you don't let pain and stress get to you, and you look for the beauty and joy and wonder around you, your life in this very world will be Paradise, because the pain and the stress will not get to you, and you will find and know all the wonder and beauty and joy that is really out there!
Read any of these texts I have mentioned for more! Or look them up on YouTube- there are some wonderful YouTube videos about Stoicism and Taoism out there!
Learn to not let pain and stress get to you- all these sources teach this!
The Christians would agree with all of this- I just don't know where to find it in Christian writings! Others will, though!
And once you have learned this, don't forget to look for the joy and beauty and wonder around you! For it's out there!
Have fun and enjoy Life!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
