Marcus Aurelius, the Michael Jordan of Fiction, helps us understand the true power of stoicism. He explains how sorrow becomes a stoic beast and how we can use stoicism to form an iron-minded mentality.
Sora was an orphan who was raised in a dojo and was strong, but couldn't defeat Karina, the dojo Master's daughter. He challenged her to a fight with real swords but lost again and cried with frustration, then took on the burden of achieving the dream for both of them.
Zoro wanted to achieve his dreams so badly and found the best way to do that was through stoicism. He used everything that happened in life as an opportunity to grow and get better and instead of quitting, he used it as fuel to make a promise to himself.
Scene helped me realize that I tend to overthink and that by focusing on my breath, through meditation and pushing myself through hard tasks, I can truly be able to focus inwardly and not let outside the fence negatively impact me.
