Sorry. It's one of my favorite books! I like the Lionel Giles translation especially. Very poetic. It's not all war, there is some sense of stoic virtue in there!pic.twitter.com/f2bUOFTC4T

I hate when you express enthusiasm in something I’m not enthusiastic about because it leads me to wonder “am I the asshole?” and that’s exhausting!

I think you’re a proper stoic though, so it resonates with you much more. I’m not. Tried it on for a year or two, but I’m a Discordian through and through.
