This seems to be a relatively old yet important realisation. The philosophy of Stoicism places also an emphasis on separating an event and the (re)action to it. It basically says, nothing in life is ultimately in your control but your reaction to things. So stop trying to control outer events or base your satisfaction on them.

Wholeheartedly agree! And while some writings and teachings of those movements are relevant and read today, I think it's good that people like you bring it up again, as every generation can only benefit from learning about this.
