Disturbed Not by Things | Chrysippus Quote
$29.99
"Man is disturbed not by things, but by the opinions about things."
— Chrysippus, Stoic Philosopher
Before Marcus Aurelius quoted it. Before Epictetus built his entire philosophy upon it. Chrysippus said it first.
The third head of the Stoic school and arguably its greatest systematizer, Chrysippus understood the root of all human suffering: it is never the event itself that breaks us — it is what we tell ourselves about it.
Lose a job. Lose a relationship. Face criticism. These are neutral events. Your opinion of them — your story, your interpretation, your inner narrative — that is where peace or suffering is born.
Change your opinion. Change your life. Wear this as your daily reminder.
