Stoicism is a practical philosophy, the presence of which is felt in each and every single moment of our lives, informing us of the important and unimportant matters and guiding us to distinguish the possible from the impossible. It is by comprehending the various aspects of stoicism that one can answer the most fundamental questions of life.
