Not sure if joking or a troll, either way that's certainly not what stoicism is. Stoicism is about the fact that when anything happens there is the physical cost (car breaking, getting sick with the flu, getting a divorce), and an emotional cost (getting angry, dwelling on it, disconnecting from reality). Stoicism says you can control the latter and improve your life as a result.
Probably the best way to manage it, is to be objective about your reality. And then there are other tools, like reframing, taking setbacks as challenges to improve and become more resilient, and many more.
End of the day, we're tiny ants on this space rock, enjoy it, and take it as it comes.
