This well written article reminds me of a famous Epictetus quote:

“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own . . .”

We all have a choice in life, we're given free will so it's down to us to choose wisely
