Practicing Sadness Will Make You Happy
I often wonder what Stoic habit would enable me to get out of my comfort zone and witness life through different perspectives.

The question is: what happens in such a divided, mourning, hopeless, drained, and frustrated country after such a refreshing change in a moment of crisis?
Given the circumstances and the recent announcement of 400,000 American deaths from the pandemic, this inauguration…
