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.
