"One of the pillars of Stoic philosophy is not letting circumstances outside your control disturb your equilibrium. Such externally-dictated circumstances include things we’re used to thinking of as being out of our hands, like the weather, traffic, and our health (and that of our loved ones). But it also includes things we often erroneously believe we have full personal control over, like the outcomes of contests and the success or failure of business ventures."
This is an interesting article because I am not one to "suffer slings and arrows" quietly. I'm the one whose's feelings are never in doubt, altho I hope not stridently. One man once told me I just had to accept things as they were and I asked, "Do you even know me?"
