What are people's opinions on Stoicism? Stoicism is a philosophy which believes that the only things we can control is is our reaction to things and the rest are external(Money,friends,situations,material things) which are outside are control and therefore should be indifferent to.
I think it's a very practical philosophy to dealing with the hardships of life but it's very sad that there's only about 3 major texts about it left, namely Marcus Aurelius' meditations, Epictetus' Discourses and Seneca's letters from a stoic.

It's also helped me somewhat but I live a really easy 1st world world life so I'm basically a little bitch whenever something comes up,despite my beliefs.
How did you properly internalise stoicism?

epictetus' "there are things within your control and there are things not within your control" was what it all revolved around. i just made a point to keep my head down and do me and forget the rest.
when the shit hit the fan that winter training shit from the discourses made me feel like a fucking boss
