Stoicism
I watched a video where the guest talked about stoicism, and I immediately had a negative reaction to it. But, the more I listened, the more I began to agree with much of what it says.
Stoicism says:
- You cannot control most external events.
- You can control your thoughts, choices, and responses.
- A good life comes from character, not comfort.
The main virtues in stoicism are wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance.
A plain-English version would be: “Do not waste yourself fighting reality. Master yourself instead.”
Here's where I think the Christian can align:
Stoicism helps a man stand firm. Christianity tells him who he must stand under.
Does that track?
