This is too good…"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

This is what happens when the ancients basically invent the comment section filter.

Marcus and Epictetus weren’t trying to be unbothered. They were just reminding us that not every loud opinion deserves an altar. Sometimes criticism is gold. Sometimes it’s just someone else projecting their unfinished homework.

The sacred pause is where the alchemy happens. Thanks for distilling the noise into wisdom.
