Is a happy ending too much to ask?

You’re not hurt by what people do to you. You’re hurt by how you react to it. “You made me angry.” “They disrespected me.” “That ruined my day.” No—they didn’t. You chose to react that way. The Stoics figured this out centuries ago. One of them, Epictetus, said it best: “I laugh at those who think they can damage me. They do not know who I am… they cannot even touch the things which are really mine.” Here’s what he meant: → You can’t control other people. → But you can always control how you respond. → And your thoughts, values, and character are fully in your hands. When you give someone the power to ruin your day, you hand over control of your peace. True strength is emotional discipline. Next time someone tries to provoke you—pause. Ask: Is this worth my energy? Because your energy is yours. Don’t give it away so easily. #Stoicism

John Lennon’s voice cut through noise like light through smoke. “The system knows how to handle violence,” he said, “but it doesn’t know how to handle peace.” In a world addicted to outrage, that truth feels revolutionary. Anger plays their game; calm rewrites the rules. Modern psychology backs him up, anger narrows attention, reduces reasoning, and feeds impulsive cycles. Calm, on the other hand, rewires neural pathways, enabling creativity, clarity, and courage. Nonviolence isn’t submission; it’s mastery over self. Each time we choose humor over hate, empathy over retaliation, we step outside the loop of control. Peace isn’t passive, it’s powerful. So next time someone provokes you, pause before reacting. Maybe silence is the loudest statement you can make. #Quote #quotes

Your "problems" are a hallucination.

Pain is temporary. Regret is forever. The #Stoics taught one brutal truth: If you avoid discomfort today, you'll pay with suffering tomorrow. Most people fear pain. But they don’t realise running from it guarantees something worse: failure. 🛡 #MarcusAurelius fought through plague, betrayal, and war ⚒ #Epictetus endured slavery, not just with patience — but purpose 🔥 Seneca faced death calmly, because he’d rehearsed it in thought They didn’t run from hardship. They walked into it eyes open. Why? Because the pain of #discipline is lighter than the weight of regret. #Stoicism #stoic
