Stoicism Stories

ONC 2026 ROUND TWO QUALIFIER ROUND THREE QUALIFIER When Terra is doomed, humanity's final hope is sent into the unknown aboard a vessel meant to carry life beyond extinction. But humanity's future falls to those who were never meant to hold it. Unintentionally trapped aboard the ship, Derrin Muely becomes a silent witness to the unraveling of humanity's last survivors, forced to watch as fear, ambition, and control drive them to destroy one another. Left alone in the vast quiet of space, Derrin turns inward. Through fragments of memory and reflection, he confronts a life spent searching for purpose, measuring his worth, and fearing failure, only to find that meaning may never have been something to discover at all. At the edge of existence, with no one left to see him, Derrin must face a final question: If life has no audience, no legacy, and no greater purpose, what does it mean to keep living?

The world often views the male emotional interior as a desert-dry, silent, and impenetrable. But to those who know how to read the topography, it is a high-performance field of engineering, pressurized by duty and governed by a silent code of structural integrity. THE HARD GROUND is the definitive "Field Manual" for understanding the complex mechanics of the male heart. Moving away from the poetic flow of the feminine atmosphere, this book dives into the industrial reality of how men process, protect, and persevere. It explores why men communicate through action rather than words, why their "Silence" is often a strategic choice to hold up the walls of their sanctuary, and how their emotional capacity is intrinsically tied to their sense of competence in their "Field." Through thirty tactical chapters, we decode the "Internal Combustion Engine" of the male soul. We analyze the "Compression Points" where stress becomes a structural load and reveal the "Tactical Vulnerability" that men hide behind their iron frames. This is not a book about changing men; it is a schematic for understanding them. For the woman, it is a guide to navigating the rugged terrain of the man she loves without getting lost in the silence. For the man, it is a mirror to his own unspoken architecture, validating the weight he carries and the way he loves through the "Steel and Stone" of his actions. In the "Deep End," you learned to swim. On The Hard Ground, you learn how to build something that can never be shaken.

A rather plain and unambitious man spends the last day on earth preparing his favorite meal before going stargazing. Confronted with the end, he deals with the weight everything he has done, should have done, and will never get to do.

The Mindscape was falling apart, quite frankly. Or, at least that's how Logan saw it over with the Light Sides. He found that it was very stressful to constantly watch things fall apart before his very eyes, and have absolutely no control over it. Roman never left his room. Patton was constantly trying to keep the peace between him and Virgil. Virgil himself was constantly venting about his own issues and hatred to Logan, but with his dead-set mind Logan only began to question his situation more. Especially when he caught a glimpse of a better life- one that was only a quick spell and a contract's sign away. And when the concepts of good and bad were arguably meaningless since you could assign any preferred characteristics to either term, was it really that bad of a decision to join the Dark Sides? Well... yes, actually. •~~~~~~• (TWs: Crying, Break-Ups, Mentions/Usage of Alcohol, Numb Emotion, Cursing/Inappropriate Language, Food) (Also, Virgil acts a tad bit toxic for the first ~10 chapters but this is NOT unsympathetic!virgil. He will eventually realize and change his behavior.) •Don't Be So Stoic takes place directly after the happenings of Episode 29 of Sanders Sides, Putting Others First, and the characters in the book are all from that series and belong to Thomas Sanders. If you are not up to speed on the series I would suggest watching it first.• •The plot of this story is entirely just a headcannon that was twisted and stretched out until it appeared as its own book. None of this is canon as of the book's beginning date.• ••This story contains mentions, implications, and/or "activity" of four ships: LOCEIT, LOGINCE, ANALOGICAL, and INTRULOGICAL(not in that particular order). If you do not like these ships then don't read the book, it's as simple as that.•• Start Date - August 7th, 2020 End Date - ? ? ?

Her name is Shine. Contrast to her bright name is her dull personality. The Irony. A girl who has no desire nor expectations for the world, that is until she met the people who will change her in a way she thought she couldn't. ^I do not own any characters of Hunter x Hunter as well as the show. ^If the readers are not comfortable with the (graphic) mentions of blood, Violence and Death (and if you still want to read this) then please proceed with caution. English is not my mother tongue so do expect some grammar and spelling errors. Do check my account for other fan fiction stories. Enjoy!

Can we still find our own lost story? In anyway, I ponder, is it still the same even if it was forgotten? Credits to @kbluescript_graphics for DA's book cover.

Like Emperor Marcus Aurelius, I will be writing my own meditations based on the study of Stoicism. Anyone interested will see my possible progress in fighting anxiety using stoicism as a tool.

In a world in collapse, only one thing matters. In a near-future world organized around four hungers - pleasure, fear, desire, and despair - one reluctant leader keeps a private journal. He did not want power. He recognized it as his duty. There is a difference, and the difference is everything. His wife has made her calculations. His closest ally will make his. His son is becoming something Tru cannot look away from. He writes about all of it. Honestly. In a world where honesty is the rarest and most dangerous practice. What follows is a record of a life practiced well in a world that burned regardless.

A book that is dedicated in philosophy, showing its art and importance to this world. It is the subject of learning why we exist, why people are blindly afraid of death and more..

Thought Boxing is a method to regulate your thoughts, organize your goals, and put yourself in a stoic and disciplined state to live your dream life. I've come up with the concept of thought boxing, which helps you regulate your emotions and thoughts for you to have a clear mind, defined intentions, discipline, focus, control over your emotions and habits, and be in a stoic and grounded state. This practice seeks to break the invisible barrier that you mentally set between your current state and the state that you want to ideally be in, from your current habits to the habits that you want to have, from your current actions and activities in life to those that you want to be doing. This practice requires writing thoughts and reasoning down as well as constant meditation of your identity throughout the process. What is written on paper is simply the train of thoughts that occurs during your meditative thinking. The practice consists of putting your thoughts into boxes and analyzing each box and each thought in each box to the core. If something feels vague, it's because it isn't analyzed deep enough. Each box has a ranked priority. Each box might be related to other boxes. Each box represents aspects or elements of your life that have a significant weight on you, whether it is physical, emotional, or mental. The boxes are directly related to how you are treating your own purpose, goals, and happiness. I will describe what fully defines an individual box, how boxes interact with other boxes, and a step-by-step guide to concretely apply thought boxing practice.

Yes, I know that's the title of a book by Gallup that shares Don Clifton's ideas. It was the first business book that I purchased at an airport. The title doesn't refer to breaking the law: it's about breaking all the rules of conventional wisdom.

Looking for answers you never made questions about. Philosophy of state.

The first book of the Eclipse series. A story about two Warlocks chasing an impossible lead to stop a deadly Vex Mind.

The Stoic's Lament is a hymn of endurance, a tapestry of quatrains woven with sorrow and strength. In lyric echoes and elegiac whispers, each verse carries the weight of silence, the ache of memory, and the quiet triumph of the unbroken spirit. These poems are not merely words but lanterns in the dark; guiding the lost, soothing the weary, and reminding all who wander that even in ruin, resilience blooms. Let this collection be a refuge, a reckoning, a road to clarity carved by time yet untouched by its passing.

Depression is temporary, Stoicism is eternal.
