Ah, Stoicism. I fell for it once too.
The Stoics said, “live in harmony with nature,” but they forgot... nature isn’t gentle. It devours the weak, strikes without meaning, and thrives through struggle. To call submission “wisdom” is a lie we tell ourselves to feel virtuous in retreat.
Facing reality, in all its chaos, cruelty, and indifference is the highest form of strength. It demands that you stop hiding behind ideals, abstractions, or false moral comfort. Where Stoicism seeks tranquility through detachment, I'm urging to confront it, not to be consumed by it, but to become something greater through it.
