Quote from Guest on February 8, 2025, 11:50 amStoicism teaches us to accept and face hardships. But what if my life doesn’t have any real struggles to overcome? Marcus Aurelius was the most powerful man on Earth, and his challenges had real meaning. But for me, like most people today, there’s no great duty or noble purpose—just working to survive and buying things.
I wish I were a warrior or a hero with real battles to fight, but instead, I’m just another person stuck in the daily grind. How does Stoicism fit into a life that feels so ordinary?
