I've just read Marcus Aurelius' Mediatations and can only recommend the book to all of you.
It summarises stoic ethics and provides a great look into a mind forced to responsibilities far beyond its liking. In short it says everything will pass - so all grief, suffering and pain is temporary. To be happy live according to nature (substitu with god if you want to) and don't care what others think or do. If they sin/wrong you it's their problem not yours. ....and much more, but these two are probably most useful to us shy.
