Philosophy of happyness: stoic principles 1 ATARAXY
“For it is in your power to retire into yourself whenever you choose.”(Marcus Aurelius)
Marc(us) Aurel(ius) was not only a great stoic thinker, but also an honored leader of the romain empire. He had to force big obstacles during his time as an emperor, like riots, wars and an awfull plague. The stoic principles he lived by however made him think clearly and remain calm during those upsetting times. One is ataraxy, the steadfastness of the soul. To remain calm in the storm. Train this stillness in quite times and you will benefit, if you need it in hash, loud and stressfull times
