The Importance of Accepting the Inevitable

One of the main teachings in Stoicism is to accept the inevitability of events in our lives. Rather than fighting against things we cannot control, we should adapt our minds to the regular sequence of changes and accept them with good grace. By doing so, our lives can proceed smoothly and harmoniously, even amidst challenges.
