Originally posted by expat View PostPersonally I find Seneca quite positive. I suppose he is Stoic in the sense of not betting your happiness or well-being on specific good outcomes that may in the event not come about.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostBut what if I'm being negative about being negative. Those two negatives make a positive, but I'm still being negative. If there are more negative things around than positive then perhaps it is best to be negative about everything so that all the negatives become positive and the few positives become negative meaning an overall shift to being positive by being negative.
At that point a bored student at the back of the class moaned, 'yeah, right'"How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
