"Man conquers the world by conquering himself." (Zeno)
Stoic principles 2 : APATHEIA
Apatheia is the mental state of being free from desires. Our passions do not disturb us, we are not a leave in the wind taken high and down all the time. It´s not like being apathetic. We care. We work. We follow our dreams. But we do not nessesary are directly rewarded for our actions. We accept delayed rewards. We aim for the much much higher reward LATER, if we suceed to keep our mind calm and stable.
