The Insidious Component of Stoicism

All stoics agreed that there is a kind of infallible grasp which they call the cognitive or cataleptic impression. And most important of all, and this really was the fining feature for any stoic in ethics, you could not be a stoic without holding that only one thing is god, namely virtue. So called good conventional goods like wealth and health are in fact, morally indifferent. They don't make your life any better or happier when you've got them. Although according to most stoics, there are still reasons for pursuing them, but these are instrumental reasons, rather than ways of actually fulfilling your own goal.
