Living a Life of Virtue: A Stoic Approach

Living a Moral Life: A Stoic Approach

Didn’t I tell you earlier that stoicism is an extraordinary philosophy for our ordinary life?

Yes, our life may not be ordinary but we do make it ordinary by our choices, decisions, actions, words, thoughts, and overall by the meaning we attach to it.

This life is a one-time journey from being born from a fetus to developing into a young child who grows into an adult.

While feeling the fresh breeze of adulthood we keep living and slowly walk into our 40’s. Grasping new thrills, new meanings, and new lessons, we slowly give up because now we are old.

This life is a long journey but we make it so small. And it is more than ironic that the things that make us feel that life is small are even more small and unimportant.

They are so insignificant but we still allow them to create a significant and lasting impact on our life.

They are unimportant but still they become so important in our daily life that they make us suffer or even drive us mad sometimes.

A stoic mind always looks for balance. A balance of actions, emotions, duties, and passion. He strives for balance in every corner of his life.
