“You shouldn't give circumstances the power to rouse anger, for they don't care at all.”
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 7.38

Why have I never thought about this before? Various situations can cause anxiety, anger, fear, excitement. The circumstances have no care about our feelings. So why do we continue to have emotions about chance?
Conclusion
Chance has no empathy towards us, so our reaction towards an outcome is energy wasted. Our goal should be to eliminate our reaction towards circumstances, unattached towards any situation.
