How satisfying it is to dismiss and block out any upsetting or foreign impression, and immediately to have peace in all things.
- Marcus Aurelius, (121-180), Meditations
The Stoics were mercifully spared the information overload endemic to today’s society.
They had no social media, no newspapers, no television chatter to rile them up. But even back then, an undisciplined person would have found plenty to be distracted and upset by.
Part of the Stoic mindset then was a sort of a cultivated ignorance. Publilius Syrus’s epigram expresses it well: “Always shun that which makes you angry.” Meaning: turn your mind away from the things that provoke it.
If you find that discussing politics at the dinner table leads to fighting, why do you keep bringing it up? If your sibling’s life choices bother you, why don’t you stop picking at them and making them your concern?
The same goes for so many other sources of aggravation. It’s not a sign of weakness to shut them out. Instead, it’s a sign of strong will.
Try saying: “I know the reaction I typically take in these situations, and I’m not going to do it this time.” And then follow it with: “I’m also going to remove this stimulus from my life in the future as well.”
Because what follows is peace and serenity.

Anti Aging: OPC Contain what Red Wines Offer.
Professor Jack Masquelier was the first to isolate a high performance nutrient from plant materials.
OPC (Oligomeric Proantho Cyanidin) are protective plant substances, small clusters, consisting of single units called flavanols. In the human organism, OPCs turned out to be as active and as protective as in the plants from which they are isolated cells.
OPC are reported to improve e.g. cardiovascular health, diabetes, sports injuries, inflammations, premature aging, skincare and stroke.
