Stoicism
Stoicism is a school of thought that originated in ancient Greece and emphasizes the pursuit of virtue and self-control as the key to achieving happiness and inner peace. It is a part of Eastern philosophy and is based on the idea that individuals should focus on things within their control and accept things outside of their control with equanimity. The philosophy is named after the Stoa Poikile, a public building in Athens where the philosopher Zeno of Citium taught. Stoicism has had a significant influence on Western philosophy, and its ideas can be seen in the works of philosophers such as Epictetus and Seneca. The core principles of Stoicism include the concept of Moral living, the importance of Understanding and Reason, and the idea that individuals should strive to be Consistent in their thoughts and actions.
