You Don’t Deserve What You Want | Stoic Philosophy Society constantly reinforces this belief, convincing us that life owes us many things. When we don’t get what we want, we become outraged, offended, and blame others for our misery. Fortunately, the ancient Stoics provide clarity, effectively debunking most (if not all) modern forms of entitlement.Video: You Don’t Deserve What You Want | Stoic PhilosophySupport the channel: ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC (Donated BTC and want in the credits?
