There are plenty of people who hear about Stoicism and assume that this means that you will never feel the emotion in your life. They assume that no matter what situation comes at them, they will need to remain without emotion and just not respond to it at all. That is definitely not what this is all about. It is fine to feel emotions. It is just fine to feel sad when something goes wrong, or happy when there is a joyous occasion.
The difference here is that you get to decide when the emotions get to come out. For most people, when a situation occurs, they allow that situation to dictate what kind of emotion they are going to be feeling at the time. They do not really think about how that situation affected them, and often they do not think about whether that emotion makes any logical sense or not. They just react.
With Stoicism, you get to decide.
You get to take a step back from the situation that is going on around you and decide whether you are using the right emotion or not. If the situation is first making you feel angry, you can step back and decide if this is really something that is worth your time to be angry about or not. If not, you will quell the emotion and decide to take a different course of action, rather than letting that emotion take over. The emotion of anger, in particular, this can be so important because many people react in a rash and irrational way whenever they feel angry.
