Stoicism explains that we have control about only two things: our judgement and voluntary actions. According to Stoicism, we can decide what events mean to us (our judgments) and how we want to react to those events (our actions). Our judgement allows us to understand how we can properly react to the events, also allows us to stay calm in case we can't react as we want, because negative emotions only hurt us.

I forget the user's name, but there was a guy posting a Daily Stoicism in late stage Voat that was great.

Too bad he isn't here. There is no /s/Stoicism on Poal yet.

Cool. I'll post the succinct definition of Stoicism. Can you make it sticky?
