Funny how the same CEOs who swore we must return to the office for “magic hallway moments” have no trouble running their creativity from a pool in Portugal the moment taxes tick up. Seems serendipity has a passport – and a tax threshold.

Didn't Cleanthes say something like 'all human beings have the starting points of virtue' and hence they developed practical exercises for ethical development.

The ideal of perfect wisdom guides us, but the day-to-day job of improving our judgments and actions matters deeply. And can require what we might call 'strength' – strength of character / strength of will.

You seem to be taking issue with my use of the word 'strength' in the second post?
If so, that was a general statement about people, not Stoicism.
Though on Stoicism, I thought the Stoics actually emphasised that making progress towards virtue is valuable and worthwhile, that perfection is rare.

My observation is that humans tend to want the comfort of believing everything will magically improve (a crap form of 'hope'), but what we need is the strength to work on what we can control – our judgments and actions.

Sorry, not trying to be obtuse.
Stoicism rejects passively hoping for externals to change (which we can't control and aren't up top us) but offers something more reliable: the knowledge that we can face any situation with virtue – a more genuine form of 'hope'.
