Introduction
When we talk about stoicism, we are referring to a personal ethics’ philosophy that is
informed by its logic system as well as how it views the world in its natural form (Inwood 431). It
tries to explain that for a human being to experience true happiness, they have to accept and take
things the way they are without succumbing to fear or pain and, most importantly, without
complaining. Stoicism is enriching because it teaches that we should never forget that we are
mortal, we should always ask ourselves whether we can change a situation, we should love all that
happens around us, and we should ever visualize negativity.
The theory of stoicism explains that as social beings, we should neither allow ourselves to
let the fear of pain be in control nor the desires of pleasure. Still, instead, we should learn to control
our minds into understanding how the world is and taking our parts in the role of nature while at
the same time treating one another with utmost fairness and justice. According to the stoics, social
beings are supposed to have virtue, which is the only good thing compared to any external stuff
like health and wealth.
