My understanding of Stoicism

>you're going to die one day and that's fine
>nature is beautiful but also unfair
>in the face of this unfairness and beauty you have been given (by the gods) the ability to be always mentally prepared for what life (nature) throws your way
>as a human being it doesn't do you any good to be selfish but instead you should strive to be a good person
>if you have to choose between compromising your values as a good person or face death: then death is an option

It's a beautiful philosophy tbqh
