a play about a Stoic --
מחזה על סטואיקן -
to keep them motivated.
כדי לשמור על המוטיבציה שלהם.
focus so much on an ancient philosophy?
כל כך על פילוסופיה עתיקה?
about stoicism a little bit differently,
באופן מעט שונה,
in high-stress environments,
taught many lectures
as a comprehensive system
was training yourself
לאמן את עצמך
from what you cannot control,
ממה שאינך יכול לשלוט בו,
to focus exclusively

my first vacation in four years

say, six months, 12 months, three years?
6 חודשים, 12 חודשים, 3 שנים?
to seem intangible.
again, emotionally, financially,
a terrifying picture.
at any moment at all times,
