dc.description.abstractThis text discusses the difficulty of coping with death and mortality, and how Stoicism can provide a practical approach to dealing with these issues. Stoicism is a philosophy that aims to help individuals live a life of inner peace and tranquility by cultivating virtues such as wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice. The Stoics believe that happiness is found in our ability to control our thoughts and emotions and live by reason and purposeful lives. By accepting the natural order of life and death, individuals can focus on living fulfilled lives and achieving inner peace. Stoicism offers a practical and rational approach to dealing with death, in promoting resilience and personal growth.
