Stoicism is a school of philosophy. There are many many words over thousands of years discussing the practices and virtues.

You've stated a fact that has no bearing on the parents claim. Why?

  • If they've written "many many words over thousands of years" for the merits of their philosophy, they are also perfectly capable to write multi-paragraph goodbye letters. That's the bearing it has on the parents claim. And many did.

    Why you felt the need to add your comment, is a more apt question.

      Eh, not really - "multi-paragraph goodbye letters" here refers to the overly dramatic fad that internet denizens sometimes engage in when they leave communities, and they tend to have a lot of whining.

      Those types of goodbye letters are not the types of goodbye letters stoics would write.

      If you were able to pick up so swiftly what the person I replied to was implying, you too should be able to have picked up that I replied because I disagreed with that implication.
