Survival of The Stoicest?

The only true cheat code to survive in a world increasingly getting detached from its humane nature is to hide your true emotions.
Stoicism. Stiff upper lip; while ensuring your lower lip doesn’t quiver. A neutral smile. Dry eyes. Or at least eyes not brimming over.

Stoicism is not tough to achieve if you’re a grown-up. The art of maintaining dry eyes though is a bit more complex. Complex, but not unconquerable.
Cultivate your imagination. Read. Fiction will work as well as non-fiction.

Fiction allows you to daydream and escape the sharpness of the thorns pricking you. Non-fiction, while not as interesting, will give you food for thought – will force you to consider issues that loom larger than your small inconsequential ones at hand. It’ll give you perspective. Before you know it, you’re someplace else; not getting dragged down by the weight of the boulder that you’ve placed on the deep cavern of your heart to keep your emotions from bubbling over.
