The Samurais, The ultimate Stoics

…

…they were more faithful to them than to their emperors and families. They had an unwritten code called Bushido, the way of the warrior. The Samurai could not ever be disgraced. If they were ever disgraced, they would commit ritual suicide, Seppuku. They lived plain lives and strived to improve their skills in fighting. Their philosophy was one of freedom from fear and for all of these reasons, The Samurai were the ultimate stoic warriors.
