The Stoic principle that tells us – Recognize what is under your control and what isn't under your control.   Don't worry about what isn't under your control – it is acceptance.   It is not giving in or rolling over, but accepting what is.   To not accept what is, is pure ignorance. Not accepting what is, is being closed off.   Accepting the circumstances and working within the reality that we find ourselves in creates opportunities and novelty where we can challenge ourselves and do so learn new things so that we may grow and expand in consciousness and in being. If I never accepted anything, I would always be recapitulating what I already knew and understood.   By accepting the unknown, or what is, a tension is created, a spark of inspiration awaits me where I am still in uncertainty and still in the possibilities.   I accept myself for who I am.   I accept you for who you are.   I accept that there is a pain in my past, present, and future

Why bother? Why try? What is the point? We are born. We live and then we die. What is the meaning to all this trying and crying and dying? We don’t seem to make any progress? People are at each other’s throats and for what? A bigger piece of the pie, more toys, more, more, more? What if, we were able to find peace with what is? Just this, not that, or that, but just this? No tribes, no borders, no political parties, no religions, no hierarchies. There would be no inequality. No birth rites everyone would start from the starting point. What is – is that we are not born equal. Some are born on third base and they think they hit a triple. What does self-made mean? Does anyone really come from nothing and climb the heights that do not turn around and help others up? Yes. But that is the exception, not the rule. Greed and hatred are commonplace in the world today. They have always been there – in plain sight and behind closed doors. Economies are constructed to reward tho
