being white
And this, of course.
TC, I just found out that what I was describing, be it unwittingly, was stoicism.
The detachment is me taking Plato's view! I feel a bit relieved. like I found a piece of myself! So, turns out that I just happen to have adopted several stoic tendencies, hence my earlier insistence on it not being unhealthy.
I had a hard time putting it into concrete words but here you are. When I said I detached from my ego, I meant it was me putting things into perspective, and remembering how relative everything is, (Memento Mori) and taking a step back and re-evaluating the situation.
This really has helped me find more inner peace. Turns out I accidentally became a stoic before I had properly read up on stoicism! :)
Edit: That's what I meant with detachment all along!!
