In the 16th century, artist Petrarca Meister depicted Greek skeptic philosopher Pyrrho through a painting. Have a look:<\/p>\n

In the painting, Pyrrho dressed in blue is leaning against the main mast while his ship and crew experience rough waters at sea. You\u2019ll notice that while his crew panics and begins to worry about what is happening, Pyrrho remains unphased and uses his right hand to point towards a small animal, in this case a pig. Some people consider a different scenario, in which case Pyrrho points to one of his crew members dressed in white holding ham in his hand. This story, as retold by Greek biographer Diogenes Laertius goes something like:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhen some people who were sailing with him were looking gloomy because of a storm, he kept a calm countenance, and comforted their minds, exhibiting himself on deck eating a pig, and saying that it became a wise man to preserve an untroubled spirit in that manner.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On the side of the ship, there\u2019s a sign written in Greek, that translates to:<\/p>\n

\u2018It is right wisdom then, that all imitate this security.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pyrrho was known to be the founding fathers of his own philosophy known as Pyrrhonism, one of the early forms of ancient skepticism. I\u2019ve written about skepticism and referenced it a few times in my previous blog posts. According to Pyrrho and his followers, the secret to achieving true tranquility, also known as\u00a0Ataraxia,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is to suspend all judgment concerning matters of opinion. In other words, Ataraxia can be described as a state of absolute calmness and serenity. A state of mind where one is able to remain unaffected by events happening around, specifically those that are out of said individual\u2019s control, which you\u2019ll find is a large majority of all events occurring in day to day life. Everything else is simply a cluster of thoughts and experiences that we see appear in consciousness.<\/p>\n

Power in Tranquility<\/h1>\n

When we\u2019re calm, we tend to be less likely to react impulsively, less likely to combust or burst out emotion with little or no control. Naturally, if we\u2019re more calm and tranquil, we\u2019ll be less likely to do or think in a way that could ruin our day, not to mention ruin other people\u2019s day too. A state unmoved by emotional impulses can also help us make better decisions, one that accounts for the consequences.<\/p>\n

Consider a situation in life when we\u2019re faced with someone who is annoying or frustrating us. It doesn\u2019t matter who this is, it could be a random stranger or even someone close to us like a friend, partner or a family member. It\u2019s easy to get angry, it\u2019s easy to get upset and end up saying something sharp and hateful towards them, something that cannot be taken back. It\u2019s easy to lash out and scream, even become violent, regardless of what had happened. The consequences of anger are, almost always way more serious than the events that caused them in the first place. Being tranquil allows us to approach every situation with a neutral stance, it allows us to see through what it\u2019s front of us and not let anger drive our decisions. Think of it like, taking a deep breath before reacting to something. Conflict is inevitable, we will always face situations that have the potential to frustrate us.<\/p>\n

How we respond to this frustration can profoundly affect not only our state of minds, but also our relationships with the people around us.<\/p>\n

Freedom from Opinion<\/h1>\n

So many of us get affected by opinions and biases, and often in a way that does us more harm than good. Opinions about people, about experiences, about socio-political issues, global events, the list can go on. If left unattended for too long, these opinions often become attached to our identity, to the point where we find it difficult to disassociate our personality with a particular opinion. When confronted with someone holding the opposite opinion, we feel attacked. We feel it necessary to argue with them, or debate them to establish a sense of authority in holding strong to our beliefs.<\/p>\n

Ataraxia offers freedom, freedom from attachment and opinions. It allows us to be comfortable with not having an opinion about something, or better yet, being comfortable with not being attached to an opinion we may have about something. So often we find ourselves in the midst of a conversation with someone or a group, finding the urge to say something or the other to \u2018fit in\u2019. It\u2019s natural, people love talking about themselves. It\u2019s natural to want to voice our opinions, sometimes even the controversial ones that can spark up a debate. Ataraxia is being comfortable with not being the centre of attention. It doesn\u2019t mean we remain silent and avoid speaking to people, but rather we speak and interact with people,\u00a0without attachment<\/em><\/strong>. Without attachment to our thoughts, valuea and beliefs. We accept that these are impermanent, and open to change. We understand that our identity is more than our set of beliefs, and find better relationships along the way.<\/p>\n

The other idea to keep note, is the important of\u00a0uncertainty<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0in life. Most things in life, are not those we can say, claim or stand by with absolute uncertainty. We\u00a0don\u2019t<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0know for a 100%<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0when a particular historical event happened, we\u2019re simply trusting and reciting sources of information such as books, videos, literature, or even informed individual. We\u00a0don\u2019t<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0know 100%<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0why someone behaved in a particular manner. We may have assumptions, we have heard something, or seen something, but nothing to say with absolute certainty. Similarly, we\u00a0don\u2019t<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0know, 100%<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0why a particular country or a government is invoking certain policies, or why people behave in a certain manner. We\u2019re simply making a judgment based on the information we see presented to us.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter what subject we pick, we could proclaim ourselves to be an expert on a subject matter, and yet still not know things for absolute certainty. If we\u2019re able to acknowledge that our beliefs and opinions can be wrong, or can be missing a piece of information, we can still stand by them and share them, without holding on to them so tightly that it begins to affect our relationships, both with ourselves, and with others.<\/p>\n

Disagreement is a necessary part of a healthy, interesting conversation, but not to the point where it has the potential to affect our relationships. It\u2019s possible to disagree with someone, yet acknowledge their opinion and keep mutual respect hanging in the balance.<\/p>\n

Practicing Ataraxia<\/h1>\n

Moving towards the state of Ataraxia, needless to say, requires practice. There\u2019s also no set way of measuring this state, or telling what level of Ataraxia one has reached. It\u2019s one way of looking at life, and one that we have the option of embracing.<\/p>\n

So how do we do it?<\/p>\n

The first thing we can do, is learn how to\u00a0truly<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0let go of the past. Clich\u00e9, I know, but let\u2019s expand on this a little bit. Past in this sense, refers to any and every event that has happened. It doesn\u2019t matter if it was 5 years ago, 5 days ago, or 5 minutes ago. Letting go of the past is important, simply because we have no control over it. The events of the past, have passed and so there\u2019s no point dwelling upon them. Now some events are easier to move on from than others. For example, waking up late in the morning for work is an example of something we find it easy to let go of. Whereas, if someone close to us were to suddenly die of cancer, it\u2019s not quite as easy. Most of the time, we find ourselves in situations where we get affected by trivial events that again, we have no control over. Identifying these events and responding accordingly is a great way to start.<\/p>\n

Secondly, everything we do in our day to day lives, is simply us responding to something that\u2019s already happened. It is our judgment of things that add value to them. Things themselves, are just things. A new pair of sneakers is a new pair of sneakers. Whether or not it looks good, is upto us. Naturally, if we\u2019re able to perceive this pair of sneakers as just a pair of sneakers, we would remain unaffected by whether or not we end up buying them. The same notion goes for everything else we have in life. That coffee we taste, is just coffee, good or bad is upto us. The stranger we met today who we thought pissed us off, might have said something that we perceived as rude of hateful. They were just words, sounds if you might want to go as far as to say that. People are what they are, they say what they say, they do what they do. How we choose to respond, is how we end up feeling.<\/p>\n

Of course, all this is great in theory, harder to practice, but we can start somewhere. We often see the skill \u2018problem-solving\u2019 being passed around these days. In some sense, Ataraxia is all about problem solving, rather than \u2018problem-dwelling\u2019. When something happens, we learn from it, move on from it. This allows us to be more empathetic and forgiving towards both ourselves, as well as those around us.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h1>\n

One important distinction I must make before concluding this post, is that Ataraxia\u00a0does not<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0mean being averse to emotions. It does not make us heartless robots who don\u2019t feel anything. This is often a misconception directed towards people who adopt principles of Stoicism. Ataraxia doesn\u2019t eliminate emotions, it helps us\u00a0respond better<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0to those emotions. Positive emotions such as joy, excitement and love are meant to be felt, and celebrated, both within ourselves and shared with those around us. Negative emotions like pride, envy or anger can be problematic, but are also inevitable\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>a necessary part of life. Keeping calm in a moment of conflict, is like experiencing a different form of power like none other. Power over our words, our feelings and emotions, in every way we respond to what\u2019s happening around us. When practicing the ability to stay calm, we will make mistakes. We will be faced with situations that lead to us being carried away by these emotions. Situations that put us off track.<\/p>\n

All we have to do, is pause, think about what has happened, and ask ourselves this: \u201cDoes this really bother me?\u201d A few situations in, and we see ourselves effortlessly finding our way back to our path.<\/p>\n
