The Essence of Stoicism and Interior Life
The distinction between the interior and exterior life is crucial in understanding stoicism. The interior life represents our timeless self, detached from circumstances and conditions, allowing us to remain awake and independent of changing conditions. On the other hand, the exterior life is samsara, entailing everything happening around us that can lead to losing touch with our deeper self. Embracing the interior life, free from dependency on changing circumstances, embodies the essence of stoicism.
