“The reason why we have two ears and one mouth is that we may listen more and talk less” – Zeno, founder of Stoicism

For the Stoics, the cosmos is a living, intelligent Being (God) whose essence is Reason. Reason guides everything in the cosmos, and the goal of human existence is to act in agreement with Reason. The Stoics were the first explicit pantheists, believing that the cosmos and everything in it is God, hence everything that happens is according to God’s divine plan, resulting in Stoics having a deterministic and fatalistic approach to life…

To attach the label “evil” to something is to misunderstand Reason. Reason cannot do evil. – by Michael Faust from “The Quintessence”
