Yeah, the flyover country is both saint and sinner, just like the burbs, and just like the cities. There are good folks, and very bad people, most everywhere. We pretty much learn that by the the time we have our first nutty buddy experience with the rheumy-eyed ice cream man. Okay. That wasn't me. That was that kid. But the point obtains.
Find solace and comfort where ye dwell, find the good in people, excoriate the bad in them, with a bullwhip if necessary, protect your children, say your damn prayers at night, and buy another handgun.
From Velociman.

"A Crack In The Stoic's Armor." An op/ed about the philosophy of Stoicism and how it relates to US military personnel.
I've read Marcus Aurelius myself, but not Epictetus, not yet, although I have his writings in the same volume as the Marcus Aurelius. Guess I'll have to dig that book out and delve into it. It's probably online, as well. Copyright long ago expired. *laughs*
