Question: Compare and contrast the basic teachings of Stoicism and Epicureanism. Which philosophy do you prefer and why?

To me it seems that you have managed to find a dictionary and looked up some big words. I believe that you are trying to get some chuckles by getting someone to give a serious response to your thread. As far as I know, the love of fine food or the ability to be unaffected by pleasure or pain have no guiding philosophy. If I have misinterpreted your intent, I extend a sincere apology.
