Happen

“Don't seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you." - Epictetus

I'm currently reading Stoicism For Inner Peace: Ancient Philosophy for Everyday Life by one of my favourite Youtube Channels Einzelganger. So far it's been an enjoyable read! I will share with you my thoughts about it soon. In the meantime, I came across this quote in the book and it's such a comforting sentence to come across with. I really love Stoicism! 

Monument

I came across this quote by Cato from the dailystoic page on Instagram:

"After I'm dead, I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one"

I thought it's a great quote! And yes I'd rather have no monument too haha. In fact when I die I don't even want a tomb. I want to be cremated and have my ashes thrown to the sea. I want to be part of the universe again! This planet becomes my tomb and I'll be "everywhere". I'll be the clouds, the seawater and perhaps the nutrients that will seep inside a tree. And so on and so forth.

Wouldn't it be tiring to still be part of the living, and the worldly world after we leave?
