i'm going to fail at putting this into words but i want to have this discussion: i have noticed that most popular philosophy focuses on detachment (stoicism, buddhism/taoism, rationality and abstract reasoning, etc) most of philosophy was generated in a time where women weren't allowed to contribute to the larger collective knowledge or participate in any educational system so my discussion/q is: if most philosophy originates from men, who historically view attachment (and therefor, emotion) as largely negative, what would philosophy be like if people more accepting of and in touch with their emotions contributed to the field of philosophy? is stoicism really a philosophy that can help you feel better, when most current research indicates that connection and community are the biggest predictors of life satisfaction? (my little research did show me that female philosophers focus on relationality, embodiment, care ethics, less abstract/universal philosophies, situated knowledge vs absolute knowledge, etc)

Stoicism isn’t about suppressing emotion. It’s about having control over your reactions to emotion and making honest, honorable, and logical decisions about events that occur in your life. It’s about the realization and acceptance that the only thing you have control over is your personal thoughts and actions. Everything else is beyond your control and you have nothing to do with it except your reaction to it. Sometimes the best reaction/action is nothing, because no good will come of it.

Like being pissed off in an airport…what’s the point? You aren’t the only one feeling inconvenienced. Being mad in a place I cannot escape is a waste of time and energy.

if you're pissed off in the airport it's likely bc of something else i imagine it's more important to process that anger and let it out than stuff it down since it's probably not about that person who cut you in line or wtv you might not know why you're responding that way but it is your body likely telling you about something in your subconscious you haven't processed (you know how people say about bullies that they're mean because they're unhappy with themselves? you're probably miffed at the line cutter bc you're unhappy about something else)
