And then I, like you all, sometimes I'll be like, I just planned out like a whole operation in my head of what I'm gonna do if they do this.
And it's like, this is a hypothetical.
Like, I just, my whole run, I was thinking about what I'm gonna say if they say this, and then I'm gonna say this, and then, and it's like, this conversation might not even happen.
Yeah, for a made-up scenario about a person that, again, if you ask them, you're like,
they'd be like, who?
You know, like they wouldn't think about me at all.
And so it's like, you're not the center of the universe and almost certainly you're not the center of whatever the situation that you're making all about you is.
Yeah, it's like sometimes it's really helpful to zoom way in and then sometimes it's helpful to zoom way out.
But it's like, a lot of times it's like, how do I take myself out of this equation?

Ego makes it all about you.
It makes you at the center of things.
And even just remembering that like everyone is the center of their situation
and that you're not the main character in all these other people's stories, you're a tangential character at best, is helpful.
He's like, yeah, why am I making this all about?
This was not, whatever this was, was not specifically chosen to drive you nuts.
And that again, it's totally indifferent to you.
One of the ideas for the Stoics,
is events are objective, our opinions about them are not.
Like the situation is what it is.
