Conclusion

T he soul of Stoicism lies in its simplicity. It fundamentally teaches that human beings are rational beings composed of body and soul. The top part of the soul is the coherent, logical, and sane part of the human being, found in the heart. The other parts radiate out of it; for instance, the soul's visual aspect connects with the eyes. But for our intents and purposes, we concentrate on the top part, the soul. It is the seat of impulses and representations of the being as a whole. Herein lies the difference between humans and other animals. Animals act and react purely on instinct and impulse, with no prior thought process. They work according to their convenience and what suits them at any given point in time. Animals seek survival as their primary impulse, without regard to the impact on their surroundings. They seek to continue existing, by whatever means necessary.

Throughout its long history, Stoicism has advocated two fundamental principles of its philosophy:

Certain things and events are not in our control, so it's pointless to agonize them and get agitated when they occur.

Negative emotions and passions need to be eliminated from our consciousness for the optimum chance at living a happy life.
