Reply to comment by GeminiLife in Often mischaracterized as a rather debaucherous, hedonistic philosophy, Epicureanism actually focuses on the removal of pain and anxiety from our lives, and champions a calm ‘philosophy as therapy’ approach in pursuit of life’s highest pleasure: mental tranquility. by philosophybreak

Yeah both those and then a healthy amount of optimistic nihilism have served me well and I’m a pretty content and happy person now at 30 when compared to when I was in my late teens and early 20s. I learned about Epicureanism around then and have been developing my personal beliefs and philosophy somewhat around it and the other beliefs mentioned. It’s been good to me.
