Scenarios about 'stoicism'
Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophical school founded by Zeno of Citium around 300 BCE that emphasizes virtue, reason, and emotional resilience as paths to happiness and tranquility. The philosophy teaches acceptance of what cannot be changed, focus on what one can control, and living in accordance with nature and reason. Stoic principles have influenced political thought, military leadership, and personal development across history, providing frameworks for examining alternate societal developments based on different ethical systems.
