Stoicism is an interest of mine. I haven’t purchased a ticket yet but might it they’re not too expensive for my budget.
 
That looks great! I’ve learned just a little bit about Stoicism by a few videos posts from here. I’d like to learn more.
 
I like the one aspect concerning how to endure hardship. I have found that helpful in a practical way. But I really don't know much about it as a philosophy. Looking at it briefly it seemed to say to be indifferent to pleasure as well as pain, which didn't resonate well with me. I find it also useful to embrace the good things. Maximize the good and minimize the bad I guess sums up my approach. Do they have bipolar stoicism?

;)

In a very overly simplistic summary, stoicisim acknowledges that nothing is inherently good or bad. You can decide something is good if you want to!
