Love the self reflection and critical thinking. I would be curious to hear how this impacts one’s faith.
Stoicism definitely has its place, but it is worldly wisdom. What other kinds of wisdom are there? Are they all beneficial? Should we adhere to all kinds?
Love this thought, Jay. definitely Something to consider when approaching life from the viewpoint of a philosopher.
I think it can impact one's faith negatively if used for the wrong reasons. From my own experience, I try to keep the two separate. Meaning, the act of thinking like a philosopher has its place for deep intellectual thinking for creative purposes. But when It comes to my religious beliefs I try to not engage in the act of philosophical thinking.
Maybe I should've emphasized more If/then in the article to clear that up.
Thanks for the comment and thought Jay. Always love getting different perspectives!
