The True Source of Suffering.....

Описание: Most of your suffering does not come from life itself.
It comes from the story your mind tells about life.

This video explores the ancient idea of “The Second Arrow” — a concept shared by both Stoicism and Buddhism. The first arrow is the pain you cannot avoid: illness, loss, criticism, disappointment. But the second arrow — the anxiety, overthinking, and emotional chaos — is created by your judgment.

Seneca warned that we suffer more in imagination than in reality.
Epictetus taught that events do not disturb us — our interpretations do.
Marcus Aurelius reminded himself to “wipe out the judgment” and return to reason.

This is where the power lies.
By learning to pause, observe, and refuse the second arrow, you begin to build what Marcus called the Inner Citadel — a mental fortress that chaos cannot break.

Pain may be inevitable.
Suffering is optional.

Strengthen your mind.
Choose clarity over fear.
Build your citadel.
