“Socrates was the chief saint of the Stoics throughout their history ; his attitude at the time of his trial, his refusal to escape, his calmness in the face of death , and his contention that the perpetrator of injustice injures himself more than his victim, all fitted in perfectly with Stoic teaching. So did his indifference to heat and cold, his plainness in matters of food and dress, and his complete independence of all bodily comforts.” MatterFacesAttitudeTeachingColdComfortDressesVictimIndependenceInjusticeSaintTrialsChiefsIndifferenceHeatCalmnessRefusalContentionStoicPerpetratorsPlainnessHeat And Cold Book:History of Western Philosophy Source: History of Western Philosophy
“I just haven't been conditioned into thinking that the right answer can't be a simple one. When I told you you'd been contaminated I meant by that attitude, which is wider-spread than the common cold and just as undermining.

“My suspicion is that those who seem oblivious to suffering, whether it is nearby or in remote corners, are for the most part unaware, perhaps blinded by doctrine and ideology. For them, the answer is to develop a critical attitude toward articles of faith, secular or religious; to encourage their capacity to question, to explore, to view the world from the standpoint of others. And direct exposure is never very far away, wherever we live - perhaps the homeless person huddling in the cold or asking for a few pennies for food, or all too many more.” WorldSufferingReligiousAttitudeColdDirectIdeologyFar AwaySuspicionSecularHomelessOblivious Author:Noam Chomsky
