Choose the example that best demonstrates a central tenet of Stoicism.
● Carlene is devastated when her outdoor party is interrupted by a thunderstorm.
● Mr. Donovan insists that he begin each morning with pastry and a cup of sweet
tea.
● Bob is such a rabid Cubs fan that it isn’t fun to watch a baseball game with him.
● Stephanie is a good nurse because she is skillful and always remains
composed.
RATIONALE
Stoicism is a philosophy that encourages people to focus only on what they can
control (e.g., their desires, emotions, and reactions). Because Stoicism focuses on
eliminating desires, and emphasizes control of emotions, it leads people to perform
their assigned jobs (or roles) skillfully and dispassionately.
