No, stoicism is more about determinism of outcomes and being free from emotions like anger and jealousy. If you kinda mangle that a bit, I can see how it might sound like reasonable expectations but it’s really not the same thing.
Besides, the Stoics are one group with one philosophy, the chances of them being the “correct” one (if there is such a thing) are nearly nil. So to point at stoics matter of factly in this way doesn’t advance the point, even if the stoics espoused what you’re claiming they espouse.

I disagree. > the Stoics are one group with one philosophy, the chances of them being the “correct” one (if there is such a thing) are nearly nil. Since this argument can be made equally against any viewpoint and philosophy, it is clearly irrelevant.
- mbrodersen 5y agoNope. Stoicism is about focusing 100% on what you can do and not on what you can’t. Worrying about things you can’t control is a waste of time.
