Detailed explanation-1: -Stoic philosophers thought that the path to a good life was reason and virtue. In contrast they believed that suffering and evil were a result of human ignorance.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Stoics Don’t Reject Emotions, They Reject Passions The Stoics believe we should feel an affinity, care, and concern for our friends and family. They also acknowledge that we are affected by external events, that we have natural reactions like being scared or shocked.
Detailed explanation-3: -The goal of Stoic thought isn’t to minimize negative feelings, but see the world as it is and cultivate virtue. Ward Farnsworth notes this in The Practicing Stoic: View the Stoics not as against feeling or emotion but as in favor of seeing the world accurately, living by reason, and staying detached from externals.
Detailed explanation-4: -The foundation of Stoic ethics is that good lies in the state of the soul itself; in wisdom and self-control. One must therefore strive to be free of the passions. For the Stoics, reason meant using logic and understanding the processes of nature-the logos or universal reason, inherent in all things.
Detailed explanation-5: -Stoicism can be epitomized by three essential beliefs: (1) that virtue is sufficient for happiness, (2) that other so-called goods should be regarded with indifference, and (3) that the world is providentially ordered by God.
