The Stoics on change

Practicing Stoicism || Chuck Chakrapani

According to the Stoics, the universe is in a permanent flux: It constantly keeps changing: days change, seasons change, there are floods, there are storms. We are constantly changing. Our life circustances are changing: we are born, get married, bring up children, get sick, get well, and then die. Nothing stays the same for long.

Avoiding anger

Stoic In Action || Chuck Chakrapani

Stoics had a lot to say on anger, none more than Seneca. Having been close to emperors such as Caligula and Nero, he knew the destructive power of anger. He wrote a three-volume book, On Anger, detailing the causes and cure for anger.

Seneca felt it is better to avoid anger before it arises than to deal with its effects afterwards. In his second volume of On Anger, he lists nine specific suggestions for doing this.

What follows is a condensed version of his suggestions, expressed in plain English.
