Both the trolls and the ignorant seem to revel in saying things designed to piss us off.

How Can You Lighten the Load for Others?
"When things get hard, a Stoic steps up. We’ve talked about that before. We do this because we know we can carry a heavy load, a load heavier than most people.

What’s fortunate, he said, is that it happened to you."Ryan discusses the benefits that abound when you help others in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.***If you enjoyed this week’s podcast, we’d love for you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
