I haven't read any work by Marcus Aurelius and can't say I know what real Stoicism is meant to be, but I can say that every person I met so far that calls themselves a stoic is a lazy coward that uses Stoicism to justify their pathetic state and lack of will to do better. | Poal: Say what you want.
