There are things you asked repeatedly for someone to stop. There are things that decent people are not supposed to do and say. And yet, they happen anyway. And you get upset, you get triggered. Although not ideal, it is at least understandable. We should be patient with other people when they are triggered. We should be patient with ourselves when we

do. As Marcus said, what matters when you fall or fail is to revert back to the training you know and understand your human being. The problem is this extra thing we started doing these days, blaming other people for triggering us, expecting the world to label every potential frustrating thought or idea with a trigger warning. That's not reasonable, right or fair. The Stoics knew that other people can't trigger us. We can only allow ourselves to be triggered. As Epic Titus said, we are complicit in the offenses we take.

Our temper is ours to lose. No one can take it from us, and certainly no one can make us lose it. We have the power. We'll have far more luck and happiness in this life if we spend our time strengthening it than we ever will trying to soften up the world. One is a form of protection that's up to us. The other is a fantasy and a projection. So which will you choose? Thanks for listening to the Daily Stoic podcast. If you could leave us a review in iTunes. It helps a great deal.

So I asked my mom about it. These are the questions that keep me up at night. But I'm taking these questions out of my head and I'm bringing them to you. Because on Baby This Is Kiki Palmer, no topic is off limits. Follow Baby This Is Kiki Palmer, whatever you get your podcast.
