1. Some things just are. They just really are. Detaching from the fact that I
have more control than it exists.
2. But unlike the Stoics, it would cause the natural cause-and-effect-
Determinism that is associated with such a
thing, and thinking that one can resist things out of their control is
quite ridiculous, especially since those things are likely the things
that would last the longest. You get hit; you feel pain. Being a Stoic
won't resist the natural order of the brain - to feel pain. Thus it is
simply that - one feels pain whenever there is
something that causes it. Nothing more, but nothing less than
actual pain neither.
