Let us consider four philosophical approaches to the injustices and irrationalities of the present day:

1) Stoicism — Take on what is wrong, and fixable, in the world head-on, in a non-emotional way

2) Epicureanism — Ignore what is wrong in the world, and build a pleasant niche amidst the chaos

3) Absurdism — Find humor in the absurdities of the world, laugh at them and enjoy it

4) The Middle Way — Balance all of the above approaches

Where and how are these coming from, I am seeing some terms for the first time in my life.

Stoicism — Marcus Aurelius

Epicureanism — Epictetus

Absurdism — Albert Camus

Middle Way — The Buddha

Still the same

Look em up

Will do

I think you meant

Epicureanism — Epicurus?

Epictetus was a stoic.

You are correct. I often mix those two up. Ty

A strong mind admits he is wrong

Still the mind - Alan B Watts

Epicurean was a philosopher

Epicurus.

Focus is on good/happiness.

Then there will be an opposite for it.

Stoic if I only could

5) The Aristotelian way: The Middle way, but with Beauty as your compass

It's a uniquely absurd perspective to view the world, and humanity, as absurd.
