This is a pretty cynical view of stoicism, and not very deep.

“Stoicism, on the other hand, stressed the idea that everyone is part of a large perfect whole and thus that it’s everyone’s duty to fulfill the role Fate allots.”

Stoicism does not teach a lack of self-empowerment.

It says nothing about what you should do with your life and does teach one should live a good life (however one defines that).
