Is stoicism a good philosophy

Define good

Yes. Just remember to apply the principals to your life slowly. No one become an expert over night.

I think stoicism is a "good" philosophy in the sense that it almost feels natural. Its not what happens to us, but how we perceive it.

>>2167592
yes. autist on 4chan would be better off if they went down the Marcus Aurelius path instead of the naziboo path.

>>2167592
Nah, cynics are the way to go

Yes, it will help you to cultivate inner strength.

>>2167592
It's the only sensible lifestyle

Would someone give a full explanation of stoicism?

If you have this as your Overdrive mode, you will only be able to charge your Overdrive gauge when you take damage. This is a good way to charge your gauge for bosses that deal massive damage, but not necessarily one-hit kill you.

nihilism is the true Truth

HELLO

I think it is quite good although there are some good arguments against it. Should you really limit your passion?

>>2168469

Accept the things you can't change, take comfort in small pleasures, don't dwell on unpleasant emotions / memories.

Stoicism is compatible with nihilism. The ancient Stoics believed in an eternal cycle of repeating history with no prospect for alleviation, their philosophy was about finding a good way to live in a universe without meaning.

unpleasant memories often need to be addressed because there is something you need to still work out.

>>2168778

Sure, the Stoics didn't advocate ignoring your problems, just not dwelling on your sorrows or mourning the things you can't change.

>>2168770

yeah, passion is suffering (literally: pati)

>>2167592
Epicureanism is better though.

>>2168850
not convincing

I cannot control what others think of Stoicism, so it does not concern me.

so, basically, stop bullshitting yourself and be an adult? I won't claim to be the most mentally sound person since I'm posting on an imageboard for chinese cartoons, but it's funny how these values seem to me like the ones I already aspire to daily.

>>2168770
you should If you can't channel it into something useful I guess. Take relationships for example... it's fine to surrender yourself to passion, but you won't feel as fulfilled until you've gradually developed a situation where understanding and trust founded on years of knowing each other are key. I mean, take you best same-sex friends for instance, do you feel passion for them?
