    I don't know. I have never met a stoic in my life. The internet seems to be full of them however. A philosophy, however useful, cannot gerrymander life to suit itself. It seems to me that if the Stoics did not experience stress there would be no need for this philosophy at all.https://twitter.com/wminshew/status/971811377869307904 …

    I am not totally sure if this is true; do you think a stoic would experience 'stress', as you've described it?

        Isn't stress a natural response to experience that doesn't fit into our existing world view? As our experience expands/grows we suffer from disequilibrium until we can accommodate the fresh ideas. Jean Piaget wrote about it in childhood development.pic.twitter.com/f8Jh2bzV40

        Ok so my objection is to: "...byproduct of being solely responsible for your life and everything in it." Based on my reading of meditations, a stoic would strongly disagree. Namely luck plays a huge role, and we must strive to live with it while mini. its psy. effect on us

        Yeah, not sure the thought process there..The point of the philosophy is to essentially "combat" the afflictions of daily life, not avoid them.

        Stoicism is about processing not about perceiving. And you are right, we all oscillate between hedonism and stoicism.

        Never met a Stoic either. But many adopt and make the effort to use stoic philosophy in their lives. And most will probably fall of the wagon. Same with meditation.

        Stoicism is anything but gerrymandering life to suit a philosophy. Quite the opposite.
