“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.” -Marcus Aurelius
i wish to dispute this quote.
perhaps by my own estimate indeed.
but still.
"Pain and death are part of life. To reject them is to reject life itself." - havelock ellis
you can't revoke the pain unless you're pure strength and no weakness.
...this is dangerous unless you are John Galt.
