    To whatever is necessary in the current situation
    The Talmud tells us that the only language the Torah could be translated into elegantly is Greek.

    I agree. Women love what they can't get easily.

    I don't read philosophy, because I can't understand it ... or rather because it doesn't arouse interest in me, insofar as to understand the philosopher's subject I would have to go through more time on the concepts, on the words used, etc., to better understand the subject. And as long as it doesn't spark interest in me, then I don't want to go any further.

    You could say that I am hedonistic reading this, but I doubt that the philosophers of ancient Greece knew the syndrome "Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" and the current psychological problems ...

    I certainly have (maybe?) A hedonistic side, but on the one hand, I sometimes do things that I don't really enjoy (doing a 1h30 cardio, sometimes 2h00, even if it is not not a huge pain for me, I don't appreciate that though), so maybe I have a stoicist side too.

    But since I don't like to use terms from a philosophical concept, without having read the philosopher who developed this concept, I prefer not to label myself.

    One day, i did a two hour walk (back and forth), and I felt pain (my feet were extremely sore), but strangely I continued to walk because I told myself that I couldn't doing anything other than walking back home (with my feet), so I didn't have to moan but stay focused on my goal of going home.

    Could this be a form of Stoicism? It must be said that the package deposited in a specific place was an hour from my home, that I knew it was an hour away and the package only contained products for the hair (shampoo), things that I could have put aside (because not an immediate need), and not go out to go to the place of package deposit, and to be reimbursed, but since I would have waited longer for the reimbursement than walking two hours (back and forth), then I left.

    Could this be seen as stupidity, maybe impatience? I do not know.

    You can improve by being a hedonist, too.
    I'm definitely more hedonistic (75-80% of the time) nowadays and this process started in my mid teens. This opened my eyes for a lot of stuff in life I would miss before that.

    You definetely incorporate some philosophical thinking in your logic,so i dont think that you lack any interests towards philosophy.

    Many people nowadays who are hyperactive or have trouble focusing on something struggle due to their daily use of (easy) media like facebook,youtube..people dont trouble to read articles,books or watch long videos anymore since they get bored out easily and have the attention span of a fish
