Seneca on how to grow up #seneca #stoicism |
![]() |
Problems, difficulties, and challenges are the most loyal companions of a person throughout life. And while they can bring a lot of stress to a person, they are essential for growth and improvement. Each difficulty conquered, and each problem solved marks itself in the personality of the individual. Experience and insight are gained through trial and error. Without it, you would remain a child, ignorant, and helpless. While one shouldn't go out of your way searching for unnecessary problems, running away from the difficulties that are necessary for your career or personal progress is foolish. One shouldn't be afraid to face hardships in order to progress in life. Life throws at us what it knows we can handle, so to handle it nobly is the chief task in stoicism.
