as marcus aurelius once said
ask yourself why is this so unbearable why can't i endure it you'll be embarrassed to answer
the stoics understood that the human mind can easily fall into the trap of exaggerating difficulties
often the greatest obstacles lie not in external circumstances but in our internal response to them
that's why or really as championed introspection
as it will lead to a sense of embarrassment upon realising that our unbearable trials are not as unbearable as we believed
this realization helps us understand the stoic rule
that our response to adversity is within our control
even when the situation itself is not
