Document Summary
Get involved in politics to carry out your civic duty. Must get involved to live a meaningful life. Pantheism: god is in everything, so then all are equal, but. Stoics preached the status quo: god is like a playwright and gives everyone their role, so people only have the control of playing their part well or no. Relationship with god should not be one with praying but. Moral intentions: the will to do the right thing. Source of unhappiness: investing emotions into events you have no control over(plane crash) A secure and meaningful life based on duty. Only care about what you have control over, your emotions. Only thing you can control is your attitude. Epicurus and epictetus are similar in that they both have a defensive philosophy. Stoics hate whining, it is an egotistical act. Preference is a weakness, must be indifferent (never disappointed of overly happy) Devil says: life is just atoms, death will always win out.
