“Precisava depor as armas, sentiu seu próprio peso, o seu esgotamento, porque, às vezes, até as nossas misérias nos fazem ricos.”

Apatheia
Apatheia (Greek: ἀπάθεια) in Stoic philosophy refers to a state of mind where one is free from emotional disturbance. This might be translated as equanimityor indifference. This is the root of the word apathy. Apatheia must, however, not be confused with apathy.[citation needed] Apatheia is a positive term; apathy, a purely negative one.
Whereas Aristotle had claimed that virtue was to be found in the golden mean between excess and deficiency of emotion (metriopatheia), the Stoics sought freedom from all passions (apatheia). It meant eradicating the emotional response to external events - the things we cannot control. For the Stoics, it was the optimum rational response to the world, for we cannot control things that are caused by the will of others or by Nature, we can only control our own will. This did not mean a loss of all feeling, or total disengagement from the world. The Stoic who performs correct (virtuous) judgments and actions as part of the world-order experiences contentment (eudaimonia) and good feelings (eupatheia).
“I read somewhere… how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong… but to feel strong.”
Shelter.
First, you have to know, not fear, know that someday you are going to die. Until you know that, you have no sense of urgency. You think you have all the time in the world to do amazing things, but you may not live to see that particular someday. So quit reading articles for a bit and go do what really needs to be done today.

Truth be told.
“The funny thing about fairy tales, is that we forget about them so fast. And we grow up, we buy things, we build up fences. We sell our innocence and forget our dreams. We forget who we are in order to be something we’re not.cAnd we’ll keep believing in this so called truths, until we forget how to live. Or until we open our eyes, and wake up.”
“I find shelter, in this wayUnder cover, hide away”
