Stoicism was founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. The name 'Stoicism' derives from the Stoa Poikile, a colonnade embellished with mythic and ancient battle scenes, on the northern side of the Agora in Athens. It has 4 Cardinal Virtues: 1. Practical Wisdom: The ability to handle a complex situation in a logical, informed and calm manner. 2. Temperance: The exercise of self-restraint and moderation in all aspects of life. 3. Justice: Treat others with fairness even when they’ve done wrong 4. Courage: Not just in uncanny circumstances but facing daily challenges with lucidness and integrity.
