Simple answer, It's not. Approaching a horrible situation with calm acceptance and resignation is pathological insanity. Don't let anyone tell you different.

- jerrygoyal 3y agoLet me fix it for you: Approaching a horrible situation with calm acceptance where you can't do anything is pathological sanity. Learn about dichotomy of control.
- pacificmaelstrm 3y agoCalm and acceptance are two different things. It's self defeating to judge a situation as "I can't do anything about it I should calmly accept it." You can rarely if ever know with 100% certainty that you "can't do anything". And even then there are usually things you can do (or could have done). Your emotional state with respect to a external situation is irrelevant, be stoic by all means. But thats not what we're talking about here. We're talking about people using mind altering substances to alter their mind rather than face the situation and do what they can.
