Are you a Stoic? Please read the definition and say what you think?

I have only recently been learning about stoicism so I can't really say. I do relate to it in the same way I relate to buddhism. It resonates with my view on life.
Without being rude... it was other times, very different from our challenge today.
"Problems with the appeal to nature
Presumably, the single most difficult challenge that Modern Stoicism faces is its relationship to the core principle of Ancient Stoicism, that is to the principle of “following nature.” In a word, the Ancient Stoics put forward it was unquestionable that in order to live a good life, one needed to live consistently with nature. According to the Ancient Stoics, nature was by definition good and everything which was conformable to nature was deemed good. Moreover, the Ancient Stoics had a teleological outlook on the world, that is, they held that everything in the universe was purposefully and rationally organized to a good end."
