A community about happy living. Thoughts and praxis about long-term wellbeing, contentment, and personal fulfillment.
A place to post profound, preferably long-form thoughts and discussions about such concepts which might not easily fit in other communities.
Probably will remain just a community for the admin to post stuff they found interesting, but feel free to post some stuff you find that matches or start discussions.
Rules
- No memes
- No toxic "wholesome" content.
- No smug, "dunking" or "better than thou" posts about others. (Community is meant to focus on personal improvement and fulfillment, not negativity and how we're doing it better.)
- No woo-woo, spiritualism and religion. (Community is not about spiritualism and new age mumbo-jumbo and things like "The Secret". It's a purely materialistic and secular space.)

Hey - sorry for replying so late to this threat - , I thought if might interest you that Marx himself was actually fairly versed in Epicureanism. The subject of his doctor thesis implies that he was extremely educated about Epicurean physics and, by extension, ethics. So just wanted to let you know that there is a reason why these two are so similar :)
By the way, great blog post! It was very well-written. I enjoyed reading it!
Oh yes I'm well aware there's a connection there already ๐
