If you think that Stoicism says that suffering is noble, then you don't understand Stoicism. It focuses on emotional tools that let you do what you think is important, without normal difficulties causing you undue suffering. And it is PERFECTLY consistent with Stoicism that what you think is important can be reducing suffering for yourself and others if you can. Therefore a wish to reduce suffering is a reason to study Stoicism, and not a reason to reject it. You still might not think that Stoicism is worth learning about. But you shouldn't be rejecting it for the wrong reasons.
