Gratitude for what we have
One of the core tenets of Stoicism is being grateful for the things we already have. It emphasizes that by wanting and appreciating what we already possess, we can boost our happiness. In today's world, marketing often creates a sense of lack or FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), making us desire things we may not actually need. It is important to recognize this marketing strategy and resist falling into perpetual unhappiness or unnecessary consumption.
