Why Stoics Do Not Use Ad Hominem Attacks
A Stoic does not use ad hominem attacks because it is beneath them to do so. An ad hominem attack is an attack on someone's character and not the issue at hand. What a less intelligent person will do is refer to a persons' appearance, their past, in order to disregard a current argument. In fact, the person that uses these terminologies are less intelligent because they have nothing to add to a conversation except stupid insults. They in fact want to close it down because they have reached the limit of their understanding and cannot go on any further intellectually.

Fear Is Learned
In this letter, I would like to address “fear”. There seems to be an “instinctual fear” and a “learned fear” does there not? For example, I presume that we are born without fear.

Respect starts with respecting yourself, no? A person who practices virtue respects themselves because they value themselves. This is a very important point.
