How do we navigate the modern world without becoming too tied up with what is going on? The stoics held themselves aloof from most issues, and developed a philosophy of keeping a calm exterior and holding the internal mayhem inside so people could not see it.
There are famous Greeks who promoted the stoic viewpoint and have many books written about it. Does one of them resonate with you?
I look forward to the discussion Des.

We are social creatures. Being ballistic too frequently will cause isolation. Therefore, it behooves us to develop emotional control.
