Stoicism Recently I have been running across this old way of thinking. It is an entire school of thought which was born more than 2000 years ago. It was developed during the roman empire, especially by Seneca (born in Corduba that is Cordoba in the south of Spain nowadays) and by Marco Aurelio (a roman imperator, the one who was killed in the film "Gladiator" by a very strong hug). This stream of the philosophy deal with several human questions as for example how to deal with anger or how to deal with adversing situations. However, the part I am interesting the most is their ideas about theology and moral. Especially, I would like to learn more about how this ideas influenced first Christianity groups as they coincided when the Christianism was growing in Rome and for that reason we can see many parallelism between these both span of ideas. Finally, I would like to finish the note with a quote of the Seneca work: "We are more often frighten than hurt, and we suffer more from imagination than from reality". Just one last thing, if you don't just correct my note-entry but you could propose me some readings about this rather interesting theme, I will really appreciate it.
