June 4th Reading from The Daily Stoic (Round 2) - This Is What We're Here For

"Why then are we offended? Who do we complain? This is what we're here for!"

~ Seneca, On Providence, 5.7b-8

I'm feeling this more than ever. We are here to do the work of human beings, to do the work of humanity. No one said it would be easy. No one said  it would be fair. Why are we offended? Why do we complain? We are not obligated to complete the great work, but we are required to carry it forward and do what we can. Now more than ever that ought to be clear to all!
