Zeno of Citium created the school of philosophy known as Stoicism. The main believe or aspect of this school is modesty. Document #6.2 explains briefly about not boasting, for example, about abstinence to those who do not share the same beliefs about sexuality as you. Another fundamental belief that is talked about is the acceptance of not being able to control everything. In document #6.2 the idea behind this is that the power to control everything belongs to god and that since you do not have this power, you should spend your life focusing on what you can control. In doing this, “you will have earned a place at the feast of the gods.” (Backman, Axen 71)
