> I've got a book or two on stoicism that I mean to read through at some point and see if there's anything to that. I think Stoics believed that being "stoic" (quiety going through the suffering) was neccessary to accomplish something good. Which is a problem, because the modern worker often does not want to accomplish anything and sees no point to anything. People with children at least have a purpose of providing support for them, but others often don't see any point to existing, other than the self-preservation instinct.
