"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."
the philosophy and the idea behind the quote are good, but this quote without context comes across as oversimplifying mental health

im sure they had gud intentions.. I personally like seeing valuable wizard mind philosophy randomly or ayleastt thats what I got out of it.. It really helped..
Any alternatives?
although do u need context? I feel it can really be applied to everything now that I think about it. Its kind of on par with the "stop caring" Pepe with a wine glass where Its like "are you mad? Stop caring. Are you sad? Stop caring" because you treat things more logically and methodically rather than with pathos at the forefront of what guides your actions or something
some people can already use it as is (i.e. without context), but I doubt everyone will be able to just "stop caring" in a healthy way, as that can also be done with dissociation (which is not a healthy coping mechanism)
