“When I see an anxious person, I ask myself, what do they want? For if a person wasn’t wanting something out side of their own control, why would they be stricken by anxiety?” Epictetus, Discourses, 2.13.1
Is all my thinking about what the trump will be doing, under my control? Do I want to give him that power over myself.Do I want to be anxious over all of this? I do have control over my resistance to his policies. That I feel is my duty as a citizen. It is not his power over me but it fuels my power to resist.
