Stoics believe that you should always do what is right, not always what is best for you or others around you, especially loved ones. Finally, stoics accept and welcome everything that happens around them, even if it is unpleasant. Stoicism is a philosophy that came about in Greece during the Roman Empire. It was founded by Zeno of Citium, who was born around 334 B.C. He had many students, including Aristoteles, who was also a student of Zeno's. According to Stoicism, all living things on Earth have a purpose for being here, even insects. They just happen to be using their time on Earth incorrectly. In other words, everything is fine as it is. There is no need to worry about negative events like illness or injury happening to you or someone you care about. Instead, you should focus on the good things in your life and hold an attitude of acceptance when it comes to negative events. Stoics say that we should only fear something when there is a chance that it could harm us. For example, if you were to fall off a cliff then yes, you would be afraid because you would want to avoid getting hurt. However, if you are walking along a road and you see a truck coming towards you, you shouldn't be afraid because you know that it is meant to hit you.
