Agree but suffering will come anyway, because one day all that you are grateful for will be taken from you

The Stoic vs the Buddhist...

Stoicism and Buddhism both teach that inner peace comes from mastering your mind. #trivium

Stoicism through rational control of what you can influence, and Buddhism through mindful detachment from impermanent desires.

Both are correct, if correctly applied.

I‘m with Plato w/r to suffering being a part of life, but it is our attachment to external things and our lack of understanding that exacerbates our suffering, rather than the loss of those things itself
