I don't think Stoicism is applicable in this day and age and location.

• Shall any man hate me? Let him look to it. But I will be mild and benevolent towards every man, and ready to show even him his mistake, not reproachfully, nor yet as making a display of my endurance, but nobly and honestly, like the great Phocion, unless indeed he only assumed it.

• When you are offended at any man's fault, forthwith turn to yourself and reflect in what like manner you do err yourself; for example, in thinking that money is a good thing, or pleasure, or a bit of reputation, and the like. For by attending to this you will quickly forget your anger, if this consideration also is added, that the man is compelled: for what else could he do? Or, if you are able, take away from him the compulsion.—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book 10.30

I am sure stoicism was a beautiful way of thinking at the place and time it took place, but I don't find it applicable in the day and place I live. I live in the Middle East, and in my daily life, I deal with animal like people. They mistake your politeness for weakness. They take advantage of you. They attack you on your weakest moments.

If you are mild and benevolent towards every man, you will end up getting hurt.

If you think of your own mistakes when you think someone is at fault, you will get hurt.

I believe that you should treat everyone how they treat you.

If a man is good words to you, be good to him. If he insults you, insult him two times more. If he pushes you, punch him in the face.
