Temperance (Lotus) - On Ivory - Matte Canvas, Black Frame

~ The Four Virtues ~

- TEMPERANCE -

Temperance is about self-control, moderation, and the mastery of desires. Stoics believe that true happiness and inner peace come from living a life of balance and rationality. Temperance teaches us to find harmony within ourselves, to control our desires and impulses, and to make decisions based on reason rather than emotion. It is the foundation upon which a virtuous and fulfilling life is built, allowing us to navigate life's challenges with calmness, clarity, and resilience.

“Don’t pin your happiness on anything that isn’t part of your rightful inheritance as a human being. Whenever you find yourself desiring something, ask:

'This thing I desire—does human nature include it? Promise it? Require it? Is it essential to my development and fulfillment? Or would patiently going without it make me a better person?' ” 

― Marcus Aurelius
