The Stoic Magazine Library

The most Stoic way to console someone is to simply offer: I am here for any living you still want to do. To be present for life aſter loss. To listen without flinching. To stand with them in quiet dignity until they are ready to move again.

We do not practice Stoicism to escape life’s pain, but to face it with dignity. The world may be chaotic. But the mind, well-trained, need not be.
