Epicureanism and Stoicism start from very different principles, but they kind of get to the same place. As for me, apathy isn't all that appealing, and a philosophy based on seeking something seems better than one based on avoiding something.

Either I have mis-read stoicism, or you have, or I misunderstand you, or a combination of the above.

Edited paragraph. Those were two separate topics.

Well, then, post-edit, good on you, mate.

Still sounds like you might be getting a bit mystical with both the old and the new. You might want to play around with extreme spiritual skepticism to get your grounding before launching off with any sort of practice with any expectations. But, you know, hey! YMMV.

there's no seeking for an answer in stoicism. the answer is already there, both within and in nature, revealed day by day through living a virtuous life. unrelated - you're using semicolons incorrectly.

Two unrelated paragraphs :).
