@@angryherbalgerbil What are you even saying? Where did I do that? It's a very simple short on moderation

Yea Its hard and I was the same way but once I said no to something that might've benefitted me at the time mainly cuz I didn't want to do it. I could tell the other party was disappointed and they tried to persuade me but I was adamant and refused. I think from that point onwards I didn't have any issue denying something I didn't want to do personally. There's a long video on this topic on the channel you can check it out, it might help.

@@chriswaynegerlach Thank you for clarification. I thought it was attributed to Seneca or at least I recall reading something like that somewhere but regardless I think I should've done my research better. I'll still double check to make sure. That said the quote does represent the cyclical nature of beginning and end so it's quite fitting to be a Seneca quote.

Thank you for your comment and you're right that forgiveness doesn't exactly exist in stoicism. I used the word forgiveness mostly as a simplified term(Since you know you can't exactly elaborate better in a youtube short) to convey the idea of detachment and moving on from the terrible experience without any drama or hatred. Stoicism emphasizes on removing harmful influences from your life. Anyway the point is that you're letting go which can be seen as a kinda internal release and some might call it somewhat similar to forgiveness. That's sorta why I used it. Don't worry though, I elaborate these aspects much better in my long videos.
