Not OP, but I am a big Senecamo. But I always laugh at people pointing to stoicism as some Big Solution. Would be way easier to be a stoic when life didn't involve endless emails and screens. The fake and gay pace of modern "life" is what causes many problems.
In some ways, thinking about how "none of this will matter in the grand scheme of things is far less freeing than it used to be.

Nah man don't you understand Marcus Aurelius was super duper stoic about everything. (as though he didn't just have people straight up killed if they crossed him).
