Mind sharing your source for these ideas about Stoicism???
I'm operating under the assumption that the basics of Stoicism are: The only good is moral good, and the only evil is moral evil. Living a life of moral good is a reward in and of itself. They also believed that man is capable of being rational, and of making objective judgments. It takes some practice, but the effort is worth it.
^^That's Stoicism for me. ^^
I do remind myself from time to time, that when people have a problem with me, it is sometimes their issue, not mine. If it's my issue, then I need to take care of it. If it's their issue, then I needn't worry about it. Unless I can help them see how they are harming themselves. But, not everyone is open to correction.
