Stoicism is much more self focused than Christianity. Christianity has the added dissociative effect of the source of your morals not being you, and lets one achieve a form of &quot;humility&quot; through being able to move thoughts judgement and morals that can&#x27;t be reconciled over to the abstraction of an all-knowing other. Stoicism is much more fatalistic in that sense - whatever happens happens, rather than whatever happens is known and &quot;matters&quot; in the scheme of things because of God.<p>&quot;Focused on me&quot; culture is not inherently wrong for communities or cultures at at all, but when you compare straight hedonism to &quot;selfless&quot; christianity then its understandable to have some backlash on &quot;me&quot; culture. &quot;Me focus&quot; can also mean basically trying to achieve what is in the Serenity Prayer (written in the 1800s by a Christian theologian) -<p>&quot;[God] grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference&quot;
