Stoa (Stoicism)

Stoicism is a philosophy that teaches how to find inner peace by focusing on what we can control—our thoughts, actions, and attitudes—while accepting things beyond our influence. It emphasizes reasoning, self-discipline, and resilience, encouraging us to respond calmly to life's challenges rather than reacting with anger or frustration. By practicing virtues like wisdom, courage, justice, and moderation, Stoics aim to lead a virtuous, meaningful life regardless of external circumstances. Ultimately, it promotes mental clarity and emotional strength through mindful acceptance and rational reflection.
