It sounds like you haven't actually read Stoic philosophy. The central theme of the Stoics is that how you react to your situation and surroundings is entirely up to you. When someone spills coffee on you at Starbucks (or whatever), they aren't the ones making you mad. If you think Stoics are outdated, go read what Stockdale has to say about the philosophy and how it served him as a POW in Vietnam. I think once you've actually consumed (and grokked) what the Stoics said, you'll see that it's a philosophy that is timeless and as relevant as ever.
