The Stoics of the Old, from the learned Greek slave Epictetus to the renowned Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. They're skilled teachers imparting wisdom to anyone who studies them.

Stoicism has helped and still continues to guide many to achieve happiness in life, or what they call "eudaimonia" (It's a deep sense of sense of fulfillment and well-being).

To achieve it, the stoics follow the 4 cardinal virtues. Namely, wisdom, courage, moderation, justice and all that is good. Straying away from this are all the vices that are bad. Then, there're preferred and dispreferred indifferent.

πŸ’‘ Wisdom πŸ’‘
It's about understanding the world around you, seeing it for what it is, and putting aside your own judgments and biases. To see things as they really are, not what you like them to be.

Doing so, enable you to make excellent decisions in all matters of life. Constant practice allows you to navigate life's challenges with clarity and insight.

βš” Courage βš”
Courage is the ability to face challenging situation, adversity, or obstacle without being overwhelmed by fear or be shaken with uncertainty.

It's not the elimination of fear, desire, or anxiety; it is acting in the right way despite it. Courage is about standing up for what is right, even when it's difficult or unpopular, and staying true to your principles in the face of opposition.

β˜• Moderation β˜•
Popularly known as temperance, self-discipline, or self-control. It helps to guard you against the extremes. Avoiding excess and seeking contentment in simplicity.

Through moderation, it prevents you from being swept away by external events, desires, and emotions to maintain a sense of inner peace.

☺ Justice ☺
Justice means how to treat others as you would like to be treated in Stoicism. It's how to behave, act, and respond to one another. How to treat others fairly.
