Three Good Emotions
The Stoic sage experiences three 'good emotions': joy (instead of pleasure), caution (instead of fear), and wishing (instead of desire).
Stoics distinguished between pathē (irrational passions) and eupatheiai (good rational emotions). Joy is a rational delight in virtue; caution is rational avoidance of genuine vice; wishing is rational desire for virtue. These three replace their irrational counterparts and constitute a full emotional life consonant with reason.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
The doctrine of eupatheiai shows that Stoicism does not advocate emotional suppression but a disciplined emotional life.
