The Stoics deal with only those things that are within our control. You might characterise them as opinion, ambition, aim, aversion, appetite. All the other stuff is beyond us, so there is no point wrrying about them. Body, property, reputation, office. We cannot much control what our body will do to us; belongings may be swept away; nobody can control their own reputation, in our hierarchised work we cannot control how we fare. Of course, we need to look at the things we can control too. Opinion, ambition, aim, aversion, appetite all see to be within our control, but they mostly come from the pressures of our culture, our background and the kinks our brain has given us. All this is, of course, the self, but not perhaps the self the Stoics had in mind. Our dreams are set for us by these little traitors within.
