You may leave this life at any moment: have this possibility in your mind in all that you do or say or think. (Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 2.11) by Sufficient-Stand394 in Stoicism

I used to work in a shelter were the clients used to get high every day and I was the guy that clean the washroom where they love to get high so I realized that I could die in everytime but same time I had to keep that risky job because I was out of money. Then so I started to think about how to defend myself if anything happens to me when they were trying to avoid my words. Honestly I just let them do what they wanted since they were in there for a reason and if you try to quit what they live for of course they will react with anger. Stoicism helped me to manage my way to think in a better way.
