Thanks for the elaboration.

I see what you mean, and on my better days I do my best to follow through what I came to call "controlling what you can". Clearly, you can't control the outside world - and we're often dillusional enough to think that we can, thanks to our overblown ego (children are the perfect examples of that) - so do what's in your power to control what you can, which is... you. Your reactions, your perception of things and of yourself...

It's a good way of thinking - just difficult to follow for me at times.
