 y\, City College of New York\n\n\nStoicism is an ancient Greco-Roman phil
 osophy that has been making a comeback as a Western counterpart to Buddhi
 sm. There are many good reasons to embrace Stoicism as a personal philoso
 phy of life\, beginning with its emphasis on living an ethical existence.

 all human beings are worthy of respect and that the major goal of life is
  to be helpful to others.\n\n\nPublic Affairs Conference held Sept. 25-27
 \, 2018.
