The fairy tales of religion are a narrative device for the very valid philosophical teachings. The idea that you can’t control everything is core to many secular life philosophies. Stoics say things happen, but you can control your reactions. Comedians say shit happens, but you can laugh about it. Religious folk say events occur, but it’s god’s plan. Buddhists say reality doesn’t care about you, but you can accept that it is what it is. Even poker players say that you gotta play the cards you have, not the cards you wish you had. All the same. Don’t let the framing distract you from the insight.
