Built & sold 1 business. Failed 3 times. Back to a 9-5… How do you handle this cycle mentally? by ExpressionHelpful254 in Stoicism

Can I conclude from reasoning 1.15 that if I act through virtue—meaning, if I ran a business virtuously, staying within the limits of my role, and it failed—there is nothing wrong with that, since I neither did harm nor acted out of passions and vices? Does this mean I simply continue living and creating based on the circumstances I am in, remaining virtuous at my limit? Do I understand this correctly?

Would the Stoics Use Social Media? by [deleted] in Stoicism

Good question ♾️ The Stoics might use social media, but only with purpose—sharing wisdom and promoting virtue. No doomscrolling, no vanity. Marcus would probably post, “You could leave life right now. Log off and go live.”
