How are the Lagos and fate related in Stoicism?

What will be an ideal response?


Under the guidance of the Logos, the universe remains rational and ordered. Everything that exists is connected to the Logos. The Stoics learned that our lives are not entirely our own. Rather than complain about what they could not control, the Stoics chose to master what they could: their own minds. By mastering their thoughts, they believed, they could master their feelings. Stoics believed that serenity comes to that individual whose will is in accord with the World Reason, the Logos, for right thinking leads to a reduction of frustration and anxiety.
Faith in rationally ordered universe and our intimate relation to the Logos are central aspects of Stoicism. If the universe is divinely ordered, then there is a plan. Things happen to us for a reason-a divinely ordained reason.
