I have one, weak-ass belief that I stand by, and I think everyone unconsciously stands by: All you can do is take a step forward.

If your situation is hell, standing still or going back is not an option. Just take a step, and see how it goes. Then take another. And so forth.

Weak stoicy bullshit I know, but it does remove the stress of uncertainty in a situation.

On what authority does this stand? I didn't understand, not just being an argumentative prick

Not sure I understand the question

[โ€“] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's in OPs question.

What do you believe that stand on authority alone.

What is the nature of the authority that your belief stands on. What gives that authority authority?

Standing still gives the world control and adds to your own uncertainty. Going back is physically impossible. All you can do is move forward.
