 Negative Effect from Positif Thinking

In Filosofi Teras book i found Henry Manampiring said that positive thingking, sometimes, has negative effect dor our self-esteem. This because positive thinking not talking truly about our reality. Positive thinking refer to moment we said about beautiful think that wished happened in our life, but in eseence, out life is still not good. Its no problem and not part from shame if we critic our own life. We need to talk trully and honestly to describe how our life is. This, not for any reason, just for making our life better than yesterday.

Fruit from Filosofi Teras

Henry Manmpiring said in his statement about fruit from knowing Filosofi Teras theory. He said, with Filosofi Teras we will be free from negative emotion and with him we can hone (mengasah) virtues. As explanation from what has told above that with FT (Filosofi Teras) we can remove our negative emotion in our life, by remove thinking all of that out from our control, with that we will be free from everything cant control it. And the meaning of hone virtues is with FT we can emerge some wisdom from our life like justice, courage, etc.

Knowing Interconnectedness : That Our Present is Tied With Our Past Proccess

From on that teached at FT : we know interconnected prinsip. This principe refer to our attitude that what happening now in our life its because somethings like chess effect that happened and bring us to this present. We can't and dont need for blaming and regreting our present now. What happened now its description from interconnectedness, one incident that come because what we did before present, now is what we reaped from yesterday.

Quote from Zeno about Mainthing of Filosofi Teras

Zeno, as founder of FT had said and this become main idea from FT, he said "Some Things are up to us, Some things are not up to us."

From his statement we know that FT teach us, sometimes, for doing indefferently. For everything that not undercontrol, we can behave indefferently and our energy just for focus on what we can control it. 

Cinderella Life's and Stoicis

Cinderella's stories is one of example from stoicism. As we know, cinderella has stepmother wich become cruel to her. After troghout her days, cinderella as kind girl doesnt consider what does by her stepmother to her. He ignored everything badness that does by her stepmother. What that did by Cinderella is one kind of Stoicism aplication. There are things up to her, like he does a kindness to whole the world, there are things not up to her, like what does by her stepmother to her.

Tirani of Other Saying

Henry Manampiring said we dont need to consider what said by other people, especially from badness statement. What we do is up to us. We have an authority to ignoring what other said about us. We dont life instructed by other people.
