PHILOSOPHY FOR LIFE

“PAIN IS INEVITABLE, SUFFERING IS OPTIONAL.”

 — HARUKI MURAKAMI

WHAT IS Stoic PHILOSOPHY?

The ancient Greeks and Stoics saw philosophy as a way to develop knowledge about the nature of reality, the universe, and the place of human beings within it. It was also seen as a path to achieving a good life through ethical conduct and virtue.

The word “philosophy” itself comes from the Greek words “philo” (love) and “sophia” (wisdom), literally meaning the love of wisdom.

What is Orion Philosophy?

Stoic Philosophy in the ancient world was used as a method to improve the self, understand the world around us, and understand our place within it.

Life can be very complicated, and without direction, the complexity can be hard to navigate.

Stoicism and practical philosophy have given us a framework with which to dampen the noise of modern life, structure our inner world, find a compass to figure out better ways to live, become more understanding, and build an inner resilience to hardship and adversity. It’s an antidote to the stresses and anxieties that can creep into our unguarded minds.

Orion is designed to be a resource that anyone can use to go through ideas from all areas of life and philosophy.

The conditions of our mind dictate the conditions of our life, and our mind is our responsibility.
