  1. Basically, and unsurprisingly, it's the same idea from stoicism of "dichotomy of control". Also, there lies a "wisdom" of accepting the things you can't control - it's useful to calm you mind. I take some issue with this line of thinking. Yes, it may be calming to an individual to accept many external things they can't control. But it also breeds obedience. It's conservative. The truth is, however, while people can't control many external things and outcomes they can still influence or affect them. Especially on a collective, societal rather than individual level. Life is not balck and white: either you have control or you don't. It has wide range of probabilities in between.
