Core Stoic Principles ✨
Stoicism is a universal approach to ethics, personal growth, and resilience. The core teachings of Stoicism focus on the development of our personal virtue, the practice of reason, and the pursuit of wisdom to live a fulfilling and peaceful life.
Understanding What is Within Our Control: Recognizing the difference between what we can control (our thoughts, emotions, and actions) and what we cannot (external events, the actions of others) is central to Stoic philosophy. Focusing on our internal states rather than external circumstances which can lead you to a more peaceful and productive life.
Living Virtuously: Living according to virtue is the only good. Wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance are central to leading a good life.
Practicing Mindfulness and Self Reflection: This involves reflecting on your thoughts, emotions, and actions to understand them better and align them with rational thinking.
Acceptance: Accepting things as they come, without distress, and understanding the natural flow of life can lead to inner peace. This acceptance is not passive resignation but an emotionally balanced way.
Emotional Regulation: Stoics believe in facing challenges head on with a calm and composed mindset, learning from experiences, and not being overwhelmed by our emotions.
Community: Stoicism teaches the importance of living in harmony with others and contributing to the common good. Focusing on the idea that we are part of a larger community and as a result we should be advocating for actions that benefit society as a whole.

Well, anything might happen, the train could jump off the track. If it should happen that I don’t see you again… It’s been very nice knowing you. (insp.)

THE ELDERS was a name used to describe a species of spacefaring aliens that first colonized the planet of Naboo in the Mid Rim Territories, several millennia before the Grizmalltian Humans. Upon their arrival, the Elders clashed with the Gungans, a race of amphibious humanoids native to Naboo. Both Gungan and Human Naboo scientists agreed that the end of the Elder civilization may have been the result of the Elders’ negligence toward their environment. Others have suggested that the Elders were forced to vacate Naboo after a natural disaster or an invasion. Centuries after the fall of the Elders, archaeologists were divided as to whether the statues were giant representations of the vanished species or monumental portraits of their gods.
Their colossi typically depicted meditating, if somewhat awe-inducing, individuals wearing headgears in the shape of a truncated cone. Occasionally, some were portrayed clutching weapons and staring vacantly into space. Based on the speculations of scientists, the Elders may have been among the first civilizations to have conducted a rudimentary study of the Force.
Millennia after the Elders’ mysterious vanishing, the Gungans used their ruins as places of worship, especially the Sacred Place, an abandoned sanctuary hidden in the foothills of the Gallo Mountains.
