An interesting perspective that I overheard on the SYSK Stoicism podcast the other day

[defacto7]

1. Those words are a direct paraphrase

From the good old bible. I can't remember back that far but it goes something like... Be ye not concerned for the things of this world where moth and dust doth corrupt, but be thoughtful of the heaven where neither moth nor dust doth corrupt. Better to ?? Think about heaven ?? than to be cast into hell...... blah blah....
It's a tongue twister... "where neither moth nor dust doth corrupt".... say that ten times as fast as you can... well, at least it has some value.

But you see, that sentiment is centuries old and an ingrained part of christian brainwashing.
