You mean ideologies. Philosophy is not meant to stay stagnant. There is always something better, maybe you are the one to write it, who knows. Also, philosophy has reached a level of maturity in modern times that puts these ancient schools to shame.

Passion is fuel to the artistic expressions such as writing. How can I give up my rage fits? I like being mad, I like to insult people and being sarcastic!

Buddhism? Stoics, Epicureans, and Skeptics are very much influenced by buddhist. So check it out. Given that its influenced by the early buddhists, you'll find a comfortable with early buddhists. But because buddhism is an ever evolving "religion", what it has become might not be your thing due to their complexity

"Do you want to live “according to nature”? O you noble Stoics, what a verbal swindle! Imagine a being like nature—extravagant without limit, indifferent without limit, without purposes and consideration, without pity and justice, simultaneously fruitful, desolate, and unknown—imagine this indifference itself as a power—how could you live in accordance with this indifference? Living—isn’t that precisely a will to be something different from what this nature is? Isn’t living appraising, preferring, being unjust, being limited, wanting to be different? And if your imperative “live according to nature” basically means what amounts to “live according to life”—why can you not just do that?"
