Mundane Comment About My Day

A shitty thing happened to me.
Then I remembered the following quote by Epictetus: Men are disturbed not by the things that happen, but by their opinions of the things that happen.
Then I thought, the thing happened, it wasn't shitty, it's just my view that it was shitty.
Then I thought, nah, it was a shitty thing.

  3. Thanks for the query but I'm sure you all have your own shitty things to deal with without needing the details of mine.
