True Stoicism vs. Stoic Mask
- Stoicism with a capital 'S' is a philosophy of accepting and dealing with emotions, not repressing them.
- It teaches understanding what is within your control and what is not, guiding response to adversity.
Stoicism in a Nutshell
- Epictetus summed Stoicism as focusing on what is in our power and accepting what is not.
- Martha Washington noted most happiness or misery depends on our attitude, not circumstances.
Three Disciplines of Stoicism
- The three Stoic disciplines are desire (accept fate), action (live virtuously for all mankind), and assent (mindful judgment).
- Virtue is the only true good and anything detracting from it is harmful.
