    The document discusses two schools of thought from ancient Greece - Hedonism and Stoicism. Hedonism, led by Epicurus, saw the goal of life as acquiring and indulging in pleasure since life is short. Stoicism, also led by Epicurus, believed happiness comes from distancing oneself from emotions and being apathetic or indifferent, as some things are outside of our control.

    HEDONISM

    • A school of thought that led by Epicurus


    • Hedonists see the end goal of life in
    acquiring pleasure.
    • For them, life is about obtaining and
    indulging in pleasure because life is
    limited.
    • “Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow
    we die”
    STOICISM
    • Another school of thought led by
    Epicurus
    • Stoics espoused the idea that to
    generate happiness, one must learn to
    distance oneself and be apathetic.
    • Apathetic derived from the Greek word
    “apatheia”, which means to be
    indifferent.
    • Some things are not within our control
