Stoicism

The stoics Zeno and Epictetus had it right. Going nowhere fast is a good description of existence. So what’s with all the drag racing and the hair’s breadth weaving in and out of traffic on the LIE. LIE is the perfect acronym for Robert Moses’ masterwork which often looks more like a parking lot than a highway. How to undertake any endeavor amidst the seeming changeless of a world populated by the same fast food chains and cankerous strip malls? The tortoise in the famed parable has the right idea but in fact Achilles will literally win. The paradox of Zeno’s paradox is that it’s untrue. Death is another matter. Heidegger argued only those who were aware of death led an authentic existence. Of course, if you’re too aware of it, you give up. It’s like a seesaw. Realizing death lurks you have to choose life.
