Today I Learnt About Pyrrhon - A Philosopher Who Seemed Indifferent To The Dangers Of This World, Yet
today i learnt about pyrrhon - a philosopher who seemed indifferent to the dangers of this world, yet he was not.
he was constantly philosophying, obsessed with the idea to find out the truth. because he knew, coming to conclusions quick is not good for your soul.
pyrrhon believes that you should not show any reaction; he always stayed calm, even while being on a ship on a stormy day.
he said how wise people always stay calm in every situation-

You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.
Billy Wilder (via stay-close)
“A good will is good not because of what it effects, or accomplishes, not because of its fitness to attain some intended end, but good just by its willing, i.e. in itself; and, considered by itself, it is to be esteemed beyond compare much higher than anything that could ever be brought about by it in favor of some inclinations, and indeed, if you will, the sum of all inclinations. Even if by some particular disfavor of fate, or by the scanty endowment of a stepmotherly nature, this will should entirely lack the capacity to carry through its purpose; if despite its greatest striving it should still accomplish nothing, and only the good will were to remain (not of course, as a mere wish, but as the summoning of all means that are within our control); then, like a jewel, it would still shine by itself, as something that has full worth in itself".
-Immanuel Kant
