Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 155
Stoicism can be seen as the "suck-it-up" philosophy. Life is hard. Not, "I'm going to have to wait and see if I get my Christmas bonus so I can afford the swimming pool I want" hard, but "Please, God, let the doctors figure out what is wrong with my child" hard. Far too many people have adopted an approach to life that is based on the assumption that luxury and comfort are entitlements. They aren't. The old saying, "there are only two guarantees: death and taxes," still holds true.
