The Story of Musonius Rufus

I understand musonius rufus ran a foul of an emperor and was banished to a desolate island. But survived it, in some ways, by drawing on the same philosophical tradition that is informed your own life. He did what he could with what he had where he was. He was the target of injustice, yet refused to play the role of victim of injustice. It's a different mind set altogether. A victim might wallow in self pity. A target rises and thinks, what am i going to do next in order to minimize the harm that this targeting has done to me? I'm wondering if you can tell me the story of musonius Rufus.
