Contest : Stoicism As Way Of Life

Sponsored by : Sotto Poet

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Up the diversified life's evolutionary lineage tree, with time a unique species climbs to the canopy of sagacity. With functional form and wisdom blending in beautiful mind, the rational man creates the art of living, the masterpiece. In the righteous journey made to the realm of wisdom, humans acquire the attribute of fundamental fortitude, attain in toiling times the resilient state of self-discipline, connected with the universal notion in the algorithm of being. The ego abandoned, the meaning of life measured with the essence quotient of the profound intelligence, defines the transcendent qualities of the stoic existence, harmoniously enshrined within the latent human spirit. Beneath the tempestuous strife in the sea of life, flows convivial calmness with current of sensuous emotion. The inundating surge of innate love and empathy spreads on the shore of the serene soul of noble life. When the mind wavers unsteady in life’s turns and twists, gets bound in the scrupulous roots of the sanctified psyche, the thwarting thrust of negative sensitivity disappears, blows away the base instincts in the wind of ethical acuity. With the moral fiber of the productive positive passion, when the mind weaves the tapestry of timeless acumen, embedded enmeshed within the motionless motif of inner bliss, life finds the virtuous course in the dormant domain of stoicism.
