    Isn’t that the basic Buddhist / stoic idea? Avoiding suffering entirely isn’t possible, and obsessing about evading it is itself a heavy burden, instead choose to accept and be at peace with the suffering that is beyond your control.

      I’ve heard it put as “all life is suffering”. It can be a bit dark, depending on one’s headspace, but liberating if simply accepted.
