Les bonnes manières – bien se comporter

Ne faites jamais quoi que ce soit avant que votre hote ne le fasse en premier

Avant de commencer à manger on attend la maitresse/maitre de maison et on ne se jette pas sur la nourriture.

Utilisez s`il vous plait, merci et excusez-moi.

Ne mettez pas les coudes sur la table, ne faites pas de grands gestes et ne parlez pas la bouche pleine.

 

Stoicism

The best guides: Seneca and Marcus Aurelius.  Their teachings are sobering but consoling. Feel heroic and defiant in the face of our many troubles.

Stoicism can help with the following problems:

  • Anxiety – Stoics propose to courageously come on terms with the very worst possibilities. We will cope no matter what it will happen.
  • Fury – angry is caused by an incorrect picture of existence, the collision of hope and reality. In order to be happy expect far less from life. Reach a state where simply nothing could suddenly disturb your peace of mind.
  • Paranoia -Don’t wonder why it happened to you. It may neither be your nor anyone else’s fault.
  • Loss of perspective – Contemplation of the heavans. Nothing that happens to us is of any consequence whatsoever from the cosmic perspective.

Plato’s philosophy

How to make people more fulfilled?

  • Think harder – bring clarity and order to your mind, don’t follow the popular ideas about love, fame and money
  • Love more wisely – love is a kind of education. Love should be two people growing together and helping each other. You need to get together with a person that have the virtues you don’t have. Enter relationships  less combative  and commit to help your partner to become a better version of himself
  • The importance of beauty – Almost everyone likes beautiful things because they are seen like a part of « the good ». Art. Censorship of the arts. The artists must use the power of the art wisely.
  • Changing society
    • new heroes, models for everyones’ good development
    • censorship – avoid dangerous preachers
    • better education – next generation should be brought by people more qualified than their own parents.
