As noted, Stoicism differs markedly from Cynicism in its attitude to others and society. In line with their belief that the mind of each individual is part of the universal organising reason in things — the ‘world soul’, or divine fire — the Stoics taught that all rational beings, slaves included, are brothers, and merit each other’s respect and concern. --> everyone has a duty of service to their fellow human beings
