Zenon of Citium

Zeno of Citium was an ancient Greek philosopher who founded Stoicism around 300 BCE. He taught that living a virtuous life in harmony with nature’s rational order leads to true happiness. Zeno emphasized self-control, resilience, and focusing on what we can control, rather than external events beyond our influence. His philosophy encourages understanding ourselves and accepting life’s challenges rationally, fostering inner peace and moral integrity. Zeno's ideas have influenced philosophical thought on ethics, emotional resilience, and how to lead a meaningful life amidst life's difficulties.
