Stoicism doesn’t advocate for fatality or resignation, it teaches you acceptance and resilience, which is how to accept and get better at getting over things. Your level of resilience is determined by your ability to get over things quicker and healthily. It’s all about knowing yourself better, being curious about your emotions and building a memory to better process them. Sadness, fear, disgust, anger, surprise are all the basic emotions we need to feel and release to live more peacefully.
Stoicism implies a rigorous knowledge and control of yourself which leaves no choice but to introspect if you want to be resilient. You can’t ignore your emotions, you have to deal with it. You have to accept that part of vulnerability inside you and make it a strength. Being strong does not mean feeling absolutely no emotions, on the contrary, it means getting better at releasing them by dealing with them. Embodying stoicism is, first of all, about being honest with yourself.
