How to Be a Stoic

I read it as "instead of getting angry for losing a 20$ note, consider it the price you pay for tranquility".

Which maybe works for yourself, but most of my significant others of the past would just start complaining that I lost a 20$ bill.

Another Stoic tip:

Most people are annoying: educate them or just put up with them, there is no third option. Also, always remember you are equally annoying to at least some of them.

I prefer to consider the joy of finding money; when you lose it you've almost certainly given someone else that joy.

Just like when things get stolen from my car, they're inevitably things that the thief might have needed more than me.

Better hope the finders don't apply the same logic, or they'll just feel your pain all over again.
