What is Stoicism?
Stoicism is a philosophy of personal ethics informed by a system of logic and views on the natural world. Stoics teach the development of self-control and fortitude as a means of overcoming destructive emotions.
Key Principles of Stoicism
- Focus on What You Can Control: Accept that much of life is beyond our control, and learn to respond to situations with calmness.
- Virtue as the Highest Good: Live in harmony with nature and strive to embody virtues such as wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance.
- Indifference to External Goods: Wealth, health, and status are not the key to happiness. Embrace virtue for genuine contentment.
Froges admire the stoic way. Imagine a serene froge, resting peacefully on a lily pad, reflecting on the simplicity of life. 🐸
