031 - How to Use the Stoic Way as a Process to Get Out of Negative Emotions.
Description
Stoicism is a philosophy of personal ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world.
According to its teachings, as social beings, the path to eudaimonia (happiness) for humans is found in accepting the moment as it presents itself, by not allowing oneself to be controlled by the desire for pleasure or fear of pain, by using one's mind to understand the world and to do one's part in nature's plan, and by working together and treating others fairly and justly.
The Stoics also held that certain destructive emotions resulted from errors of judgment, and they believed people should aim to maintain a will (called prohairesis) that is "in accord with nature". Because of this, the Stoics thought the best indication of an individual's philosophy was not what a person said, but how a person behaved.
To live a good life, one had to understand the rules of the natural order since they thought everything was rooted in nature.
