> Marcus Aurelius started each day telling himself: ‘I shall meet with meddling, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, and unsociable people’

In other words: every day I will meet with sinners - but additionally "just as I myself am a sinner"

Christianity understands this much better than the stoics. The problem of the world is sin and what is the remedy?

Jesus Christ

> he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

or

> For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of the world
