Stoic Emotions: - Deepstash

Stoic Emotions:

Stoicism views emotions as a result of our judgments and beliefs about the world. Rather than seeing emotions as uncontrollable reactions, Stoics argue that emotions are within our control. They emphasize that by examining and refining our thoughts and judgments, we can manage and even transform our emotional responses. For example, if someone feels anger, Stoicism suggests that by reassessing their beliefs and judgments about a situation, they can alter their emotional response and choose a more rational and constructive reaction.
