What is Stoicism?
Stoic philosophy, originating in ancient Greece around the 3rd century BCE, is a school of thought that advocates for a life guided by reason, virtue, and the pursuit of inner tranquility in the face of external circumstances.
Founded by Zeno of Citium, the Stoics believed that individuals have control over their own reactions and attitudes, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility and self-discipline. Central to Stoicism is the notion that one should focus on what can be controlled, accepting what cannot be changed with equanimity.
Stoics, such as Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, have left a lasting legacy through their writings, providing timeless wisdom on how to navigate the complexities of human existence with resilience.
