Stoicism is a school of philosophy. The Stoics considered destructive emotions to be the result of errors in judgment. They presented their philosophy as a way of life. According to them, the best indication of an individual's philosophy was not what a person said, but, how he behaved. Marcus Aurelius was a Stoic philosopher.  This Roman writer and emperor lived about 1900 years ago. Here's something he said:

"If there are gods and they are just, they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
