Date: March 19th, 2018 7:43 AM Author: adulterous church It's not about attempting perfect discrimination between events you can and cannot change.
It's about reducing your ego - to stop trying to control / change ALL events, and the realization that you're largely along for the ride.
This in no way implies you shouldn't put effort into reasoned choice - but that you need to learn acceptance, and that you are an actor in this show of life not the Director |

while i also prefer to think of our lives as riding an uncontrollable wave and that we can only make small changes in our tack, i don't agree that the methodology for making these changes is one that demands something like rationality maximization, not least because of staggering diminishing returns to rationality. |
