Stoicism
Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. Stoics believe that the path to happiness is found in accepting moments as they present themselves while not allowing ourselves to be controlled by our innate desires for pleasure or our innate fear of pain. By using our minds to understand the world and taking part in nature's or God's plan and by working together and treating others with the utmost fairness and justice, stoics believe that "virtue is the only good." Stoics do not consider external things such as wealth, pleasure or health as bad or good things, only as much as you can use them as tools to achieve wisdom, justice and most importantly - virtue - a moral code you do not abandon.

Starting to wonder if that's the only answer available ... or are we all as crazy as each other? |

Apparently it's not the only result you can get. I took the quiz again but answered with the most off-the-wall or absurd answers available and I got:
______________________________________________________________________________
Epicureanism is a system of philosophy founded around 307 BC based upon the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus.
In this philosophy, pleasure is the main good in life. This is not to be confused with hedonism, as Epicureanism believes in living a modest life, full of modest pleasures. An overindulgence in extravagant pleasures is a path to pain, the source of all evil in this philosophy.
In this philosophy, one acts to live a moderate, natural life that places more emphasis on pleasures of mind and of enjoying each other, rather than the purely physical trappings of excess.
As such, Epicurus believed that for happiness, good social relations and friends must be maintained, an avoidance of overindulgence in physical pleasures and a minimization of all things that cause one pain. Everything is judged by merits of pain or pleasure to you. Justice, for example, is good only because it is good for the community, and it is bad if it is not.

My personal path to happiness, and this has nothing to do with this quiz, is just loving my family, friends, and pets and being there for them when they need me.
Nothing else really matters to me anymore.
