Stoicism offers a guiding philosophy, even in the darkest of times. As Marcus Aurelius reminds us, "When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."In moments of profound sadness, it's natural to wonder, what's the point of something when it makes you feel so bad?
