Stoicism's core advice—focus only on what you control—sounds practical, but I've found it dangerously close to passivity when applied to real-world injustices. Last year, a colleague was unfairly fired, and the stoic mantra 'accept what happens' felt like a cop-out that discouraged us from fighting back. Does embracing Stoicism genuinely improve mental resilience, or does it just teach people to tolerate situations they should actively change?
