Unfortunately I think I was unconscious until I was about 57. I never intentionally hurt anyone, but I was either working or drinking. In the last 10 years I've made an effort to change all that. I try to be kind and think of others, which is kinda hard sometimes.
There's a lot of messed up people out there these days.
Not too sure how conscious I have become but I'm much happier now.
Like you have done here Matt, Men helping other men is paramount to building a better world. It is not a quality that we are inherently designed with or taught. So many of us grow up without male role models who exhibit these codes. But it is never too late to learn them and life is so much better when you do. Thanks for the reminder
These are two links to their recent posts which already summarize important points about Stoicism. No need to mention that every line is/could be important and of value ... Take your personal pick !! & have a nice time ...

How the legal realm makes moral and truth seeking people suffering without harm of another!

These are just two posts by them. Have a look ...
its much more helpful when you summarize the ideas rather than to only post a reading list.
