A MEDITATION

“ Nothing is burdensome if taken lightly, and nothing need arouse one's irritation so long as one doesn't make it bigger than it is by getting irritated.

— Seneca

On Anger 2.14

On control

A reflection

Annoyance is almost always self-amplified. The original event was a small noise; the irritation made it a crisis. Treat it lightly and most of the day's 'problems' return to their actual size — small.
