How satisfying it is to dismiss and block out any upsetting or foreign impression, and immediately to have peace in all things.
Today's reading has a real connection to some struggles I have been facing. Politics can always be a contentious subject and with the addition of technology and social media, I have found my blood boiling at times.
"The Daily Stoic" has my solution. They quote Publilius Syrus "Always shun that which makes you angry." Sounds simple, but it only takes ten minutes on social media to ruin this plan. It takes a strength of will to accomplish. This is a goal worth achieving.
The ability to tune out the negative takes a strong will, but the result of your efforts will be peace and serenity.
