Oh come on, Cis. Surely, you've read Marcus Aurelius! Great words to live by. He was a realist, as well as a stoic, and the best way to make it through life is to look at your situation with clear eyes, and accept what you can't change. You may as well be stoic in your acceptance, rather than whine about it. (Not that I'm accusing you of whining since I have no idea who you are)

Just because they are great words to live by doesn't make me capable now does it?

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it a fish.
