Fortune by VersedArts on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

David brown said whilst talking about stoicism, that we used to include fortune in life, the oppertunities and hardships that life just throws at any human being at any given time, but now we place all the blame on that person, people who have suffered and perhaps failed something in life because of it, we used to call them unfortunate, now we call them losers, so there's a lack of respect there now for that fact that life is just throwing stuff back at you, you're not failing.
