Epictetus: Don't Worry About Things You Can't Control!

Now THERE'S an idea!!!!

[@DaddyBooneDon]

Isn't this the opposite of the popular view? It seems like all the things we can't control are the things that people try the hardest to control.

Yep.

[@philosophyversuslogic]

Not in anyone's control is: * the place of his birth * the data of his birth * his self at the beginning of his birth * nobody was born by oneself So, the question is - what to control at all? If we control something, that area is too narrow. Actually, personally for me it is not nothing, but I must admit also that too many things are out of control

how old are you, sir?

Unlike my wife, I don't pay attention to my age. But math says I'm in the low 40s.
