I see in every philosophy that ACCEPTANCE is the key to happiness. There's nothing outside yourself that can bring true happiness. I had no idea that Stoicism is so closely aligns with Buddhism. I love learning new things.

@thewebrecluse If you find the same basic propositions coming from a variety of different philosophies, you can take it to the bank that it's true.
One day, the Nawab asked Namacharya Srila Haridas Thakura(One of the Greatest Devotees of Lord Chaitanya/Krishna,lived in 15th century) that why he had abandoned the pure religion of Islam to embrace Hinduism.
Srila Hari Das Thakur answered, “God is one. The same God is present in every religion; he is the non-dual absolute truth.
@thewebrecluse
In the different religions, it is simply the name that differs, but on the absolute plane, there is no distinction to be made. The same God sits in the heart of every single living being and he engages each one of them in his service in different ways."
