+    Stoics promote this to be living in accordance with Nature, though the
+    details of what exactly that is may differ slightly.  However, it's a lesson
+    many today have foregone, instead relying too much on externals to find
+    solace and reward. I like how Seneca sums it, though: "He who has made a

+    still holds. Live modestly, accept your shortcomings, and you will recognize
+    how well off you are.</p>
