Stoicism

Compared to other marginalized schools of thought, Stoicism gained widespread recognition primarily due to the concepts they introduced, namely the ideas of life cycle and natural law. These ideas were easily associated with and thus gained acceptance.

The two concepts could easily be connected with since cultures in general are able to experience it. The ideas of life cycle and natural law, even though they didn't originate from their cities, was also common with their current issue. The concepts were also a solution to their problem. For an idea to survive, it must be able to connect with the people and are present in their daily lives. An idea would not survive if no one in a particular area would be able to find significance in it. In some cases, locals would even modify an idea or a practice in order for it to fit and become accepted into their culture. However, in the case of life cycle and natural law, these ideas were accepted immediately.

Furthermore, I believe that the influences of Stoicism were inevitable because their ideas stand out in comparison to others. They contributed ideas which were fresh and innovative which were contradictory to the existing ideas during that time. This was the grounds by which these ideas were accepted easily and survived through time.
