robert1986 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I know what Wikipedia says. Didn't help. Is it a person who doesn't physically show emotion but feels it inside him? Is it a person who controls the emotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert1986 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 I've done maybe 90% if this without applying the Stoic label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Exotic Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Then I guess you have been living a pretty stoic life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert1986 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Now that I think about it I do. Maybe not perfectly but it's there. There is a joke I told a long time ago. A guy walks up to me and says " are you afraid of death?". I reply "No, but at any moment I'm prepared and if I go now I'm happy with myself" Might be what a stoic would say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Exotic Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 That seems accurate. "I would ask death to wait for me to say goodbye to my wife and kids, and then I'll be ready to come with him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
