Have you ever wondered what true justice means? Plato, one of the greatest philosophers, explored the concept of justice in his works. He believed that justice in society is achieved when everyone does the job they are best suited for. This idea resonates deeply with me and my journey.
Not too long ago, I took a significant leap of faith. I left behind a stable career to pursue something I was passionate about—creating and selling incense inspired by the philosophies of Stoicism, Plato, and Socrates. It was a decision fraught with self-doubt and fear. The uncertainty of leaving a familiar path was daunting.
Starting my own business was no easy task. There were countless nights of worrying if I had made the right choice, if my products would resonate with people, and if I could support myself through this new venture. The fear of failure was a constant companion.
However, something incredible happened. As I poured my heart and soul into my work, I began to see the beauty in Plato's idea of justice. I realized that I was doing the job I was best suited for. The incense I create isn’t just a product; it’s a piece of my journey, my passion, and my dedication to a philosophy that inspires me.
Standing behind my market booth, surrounded by people who appreciate my work, fills me with immense gratitude. It is a testament to the support and love I’ve received from the community. It’s a reminder that taking a chance, despite the fears and doubts, can lead to a fulfilling and just life.
Every person who stops by my booth, every conversation about philosophy and mindfulness, reinforces the belief that I am where I’m meant to be. My gratitude for this journey is boundless. It’s a daily affirmation that justice, both in the individual and in the state, is about finding and embracing the role that truly suits us.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and made this journey possible. Here’s to finding our paths and creating a just and harmonious society, one step at a time.
