First prompt entry

I think if a person is Stoic, they are people who believe in the idea that they have no control over what happens in life, therefore they should not worry on the little things in life that are out of our control. Stoics want to take the negative out of things that we can not control, for example, if it starts to rain while walking to class, we can not help that- therefore there is no real reason to get upset and take it out on other people. Stoics live life as it comes not really worrying about the unknown because there is nothing you can do about it.

They also believe that we should not get caught up on appearances, money or materialistic things. Those things are not what truly makes us happy. They feel that if it makes sense to you then live by it. Also, if a friend is battling a hard time and seems to be depressed a lot of the time they think we should listen but not become too emphatic because it can become a part of our problem which we begin to become depressed and sadden.... AGAIN this is all just what I THINK not too sure..??..
