Where is the flaw in developing one's mind and subordinating the trivialities of physical existence?
Isn't it this identification of the mind which attests to our existence, helps us to perceive the world and find a true equilibrium, a balance between our physical needs and mental tranquillity?
If this is so, then why is stoicism not readily recognised as the best starting point (method) in life? Or is destructive hedonism all that most are capable of…
any thoughts?

It is part of the human condition to search for pleasure and be partial to our emotions. Therefore Stoicism, in my opinion, isn't desirable for humans and therefore not a good starting point in life. However, it does have its uses when objective nature is required.
