Stoics were ancient Greeks. The misconception is that it means don't feel anything. That's not what it is. It's about choice.

And then there's a whole big basket of shit that you just don't control.

All pain is personal. It's much easier when it's not you. My father used to tell a very funny joke. You know, it's so sad that so many things that I grew up with where the different ethnicities swapped humor with one another.

Yes, I agree with you. And so then you, you know, when you're in my business, you know, you start kind of trying to plumb why, why, why.

You know, like the degree to which we have hungry kids in this country always shocks me every time I go to these areas. And I'm like, how is this happening here? How is it happening? Because...
