Ahh, stoicism. Yes misunderstood by many and well described by you. Three plus years ago I answered these two prompts

12. How can you become more mindful of the way you handle composure vs. emotional expression?

13. How can practicing feeling your feelings fully, even when it is deeply uncomfortable, benefit you?

with a poem (I titled the story "Of Emotional Intelligence")(the poem is a mix of tanka, dizain, and imayo stanzas):

IQ v EQ

Your prompts scream I should highlight

Latter trumps former

FORMER Prez Chump had neither

USA beyond repair

Seriously now

Readers learn from LibbyLuv

Elevate EQ

Self-awarely empathize

That’s the spiritual path

Prompts 12 and 13

Arrive same destination

Don’t compose feelings

That’s a Dianaesque trap

KTHT know better

Emotions evolutionary prize

other animals may indeed have souls

Feelings allow spirits to realize

Goal of elevating on totem poles

Humans to achieve our intended roles

Feelings spiritually guide egos

Persuade others with ethos and pathos

Here’s an oxymoron to consider

EQ incorporates lots of logos

This concludes dizain portion of dinner

Time for an imayo course, of intense EQ

Do not pursue happiness — it and sadness both fleet

Contentment is where you’ll find, serene state of mind

Allow emotions to flow, return there lest blow

Please understand the stoics, don't push feelings down

The word does not reflect roots, Marcus A. rolls eyes

Do not get carried away, yet please deeply feel

If you lava dome feelings, end up like Pompei
