Due to life changing moments this will be a short year. But everyday I'm getting ahead. Cya very soon. . . Apatheia (Greek: ἀπάθεια; from a- "without" and pathos "suffering" or "passion"), in Stoicism, refers to a state of mind in which one is not disturbed by the passions. It is best translated by the word equanimity rather than indifference. The meaning of the word apatheia is quite different from that of the modern English apathy, which has a distinctly negative connotation. According to the Stoics, apatheia was the quality that characterized the sage. Whereas Aristotle had claimed that virtue was to be found in the golden mean between an excess and a deficiency of emotion (metriopatheia), the Stoics thought that living virtuously provided freedom from the passions, resulting in apatheia. It meant eradicating the tendency to react emotionally or egotistically to external events, the things that cannot be controlled. For Stoics, it was the optimally rational response to the world, for things cannot be controlled if they are caused by the will of others or by Nature; only one's own will can be controlled. That did not mean a loss of feeling, or total disengagement from the world. The Stoic who performs correct (virtuous) judgments and actions as part of the world order experiences contentment (eudaimonia) and good feelings (eupatheia). . . . . . . #tbt #ootd #me #selfie #fashionista #quoteoftheday #quotesaboutlife #styleblogger #streetwear #styleinspiration #hypebeast #moda #bikehelmet #styilish #picoftheday #stylegram # #hype #moda #lovetattoos #fashionmodel #fashionaddict #vibes #tattoosleve #webstagram #model #tweegram #ootdfashion #lifestyle (på/i Wonderland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU1QbELIgUQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
