I haven't dug deep into stoicism, but it appears to have a lot of overlap with buddhist philosophy. Is that a fair comparison?

- Havoc 10y ago>a lot of overlap Definitely. Though from what I've seen stoicism emphasises rationalising through problems more in my experience. i.e. Here is a logical argument as to why you should not worry about this thing. Buddhist has some of that too, but the approach tends to be a bit more "spiritual" if that makes sense?
