The Calm Face: What Old Pain Decides

You know the exhaustion sleep cannot fix, when your body is still but your mind is still running through conversations from hours ago. Marcus Aurelius, emperor of the largest empire, faced this same battle, admitting in his private journal that the hardest fight was always within his own head. What did the Stoics understand about this relentless mental activity that most people miss?
