Like the Stroppy Rabbit, I appear to be closest to a Stoic.
Bizarre, especially since I really think we'd have all been in a better place without the Greek civilisations.
Saving your presence, of course. :)

I got stoic too. I can buy it, except for the turning my back on passion part. I'm all about passion.
Epicurus. I'll drink to that!
I too got Aristotle
I ended up an Epicurean, much to my surprise.
