Cosmic Stoicism: a Carnival of Absurd Wisdom

In stoic carnival, emotions juggle, laughter somersaults on a tightrope of reason. Epictetus, ringmaster, dons a clown's nose, philosophy as whimsical sideshow. Stoicism, circus tent of paradox, where the lion tamer wrestles inner beasts. The trapeze of fate swings on absurdity, as three Moirai perform an acrobatic feat. Seneca's stoic beard, a magical illusion, transforms into a confetti-spewing waterfall. Cynicism rides a unicycle of cosmic irony, while Zeno's paradox becomes a funhouse mirror. In a carnival of wisdom turned wild, stoicism pirouettes on the edge of the bizarre. Life's absurdities, the grand finale, a cosmic joke echoing in stoic guffaws.

A circus carnival seems so dangerous and exciting, and your amazing poem, connecting it with stoicism, seems almost controversial. You did it so well. Engrossing. I was interested to the end. SV
