It makes sense to me at first glance, but I’ve also seen people say it’s not truly Stoic. I thought the idea of splitting things into what we can control, what we can’t, and what we influence was helpful. But is this actually against Stoic philosophy? Should I be thinking in terms of a dichotomy instead?</blockquote><br> Cancel F.A.Q About The Forum How To Create an account Change Your Nickname on the Forum How to change your profile picture
