I did not say that you should never let out your emotions... a man of reason still can feel emotions, he just chooses them and monitors them carefully. Not to feel pain, regret, loss, fear and other negatives, but seek for joy, enlightment, amazement and other positives. You can perfectly laugh at a clever joke, enjoy a good meal/discussion/other thing...

Quote from: Scorpion on November 18, 2010, 04:24:42 PMI highly doubt anybody can really call themselves full stoics though.I agree.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laments_%28Treny%29"The poems express Kochanowski's boundless grief; and, standing in sharp contrast to his previous works, which had advocated such values as stoicism, can be seen as the poet's own critique of his earlier work. In a wider sense, they show a thinking man of the Renaissance at a moment of crisis when he is forced, through suffering and the stark confrontation of his ideals with reality, to re-evaluate his former humanistic philosophy of life."Basically this dude wrote about how fucking awesome stoicism is, then his kid died, he raged, then noticed that everything he said before was bullshit. But then he stopped being an emofag and found his way of life again.
Stoicism seeks to destroy negative/destructive extreme emotions.
By the sounds of it, you're keeping away from more than just sex and procreation ;PAnd limiting some of your emotions is certainly doo-ible Blocking all of them out, is not.
Bad stuff that happened to me....I used to go to a GREAT private school, but then due to jobs, I had to move to a state school hundreds of miles away...Being at this school changed me from a "Normal" average boy of my age to a cocky d***...My life sucks.

You don't look like a cocky guy to me.
