Brainlets keep misunderstanding what stoicism is actually like.
Let's say you discover your wife is cucking you with Jamal.

Stoicism is NOT:
>Accepting the fact because you couldn't control it and keep getting cucked
Stoicism IS:
>Calmly divorce your wife in the way that least damages you, without letting the event cloud your spirit

In your raise example,
Stoicism is NOT:
>Passively accept that you're earning less than you'd like because it's out of your control
Stoicism IS:
>Do your best to influence the elements in your power to make that raise happen, and transfer to a better company if that proves to be unfeasible
Also, never forget that all of this has to be motivated by the simple reasoning "Pursuing this will lead to good, influenceable outcomes", and not by greed or fear of failure.


Disregard posts like this one >>12942130, they're slaves to their small minds for which "Don't be clouded by emotion" is such a foreign thought that they can't even comprehend it.
