Seneca & Siddhartha

Where Buddhism and Stoicism meet.

Are you tired of having your hopes and dreams dashed, time and time and time again?

Well, that’s why we created emptiness¹.

That’s right…emptiness.

You see, it’s not that you need to stop having hopes and dreams; enjoy the drama! But recognize that if anything could’ve satisfied you, you would’ve been satisfied a long time ago². And it’s not dashed dreams that has you down, it’s the craving for the next outcome, the next meal, the next bowl, that has you down³.
