Quote from Guest on February 17, 2025, 8:08 amStoicism teaches us to accept what we cannot change, but isn’t the act of “letting go” itself a kind of control? If I consciously train myself to be indifferent to outcomes, am I still trying to shape reality—just in a different way? At what point does surrender become true acceptance rather than just another attempt to control my mind?
