Thanks very much for your comments.
...Hello Dennis! Thanks very much for your comments.<br />"Stoic" in the ancient, richer sense of the word- I think I understand what you mean. Not stoic in the way that it has become to mean. Oh look, here it is summed up quite nicely...<br />"The ancient Stoics are often misunderstood because the terms they used pertained to different concepts in the past than they do today. The word "stoic" has come to mean "unemotional" or indifferent to pain, because Stoic ethics taught freedom from "passion" by following "reason". The Stoics did not seek to extinguish emotions; rather, they sought to transform them by a resolute "askēsis" that enables a person to develop clear judgment and inner calm.[19] Logic, reflection, and concentration were the methods of such self-discipline."<br />Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-27747698658170561862017-06-04T10:28:53.473-04:002017-06-04T10:28:53.473-04:00Glad you like it too, Jill.
