    To practice stoicism you need more patience and take everything in a humorous point of view. You must think that nothing is permanent on this earth and we are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games. A human being is nothing without spirits.

    God never bothers who believes in Him. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. Brain is just a media to connect the spirits to your mind. A mind is just a computer's mind. After the destruction of a computer completely you will not get it's mind. The same is the case with the human beings. Soul is nothing but an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

    I DON'T eat every time I feel like eating - and hence I'm not obese.

    By exercising patience.

    Everyone does sort of. We all try to perfect ourselves in some way or the other. That takes a bit of stoicism on our part just to overcome the resistances that interfere with our goals.

    I use YA to observe how people act in terms of reaction and manipulation to advance themselves through a deeply flawed system to satisfy their own individual needs
