Stoicism

 From lectures, as explained below, from 14 and 15 stoicism has three sacred pillars. The first fundamental pillar of stoicism is duty. The pillar states that people should carry put their tasks to competence and excellence without considering the level they achieve. In simple terms, it means that no matter what people earn in terms of marks, their main goal should be to carry out their duty with absolute competence as such that the means are given much justification. We should ask with what competence was this task achieved regardless of the results it has produced. Therefore, the process should justify the end rather than the results justifying the means. The second pillar of stoicism is piety, which means in all endeavors, we should never blame the gods or other people for the negative experience we have in this life. Instead, people should strive to see positive aspects whenever they experience a negative impact. The negative experience is viewed as part of life and whenever we encounter it, we should move on and be thankful for all the positive things that we have. The third and last pillar of stoicism is the ability to have self-control. The pillar dictates that we should enjoy every experience we have but never ever allow ourselves to be carried away by the emotions they bring. Especially when the feelings are negative, we should never have a personal attachment to negative emotions.
