We were going for a long drive, but just before the time of starting it began to rain very hard. I said to my friend, ‘I am a stoic, therefore I cannot be disappointed nor unhappy, therefore I do not care whether it rains or not; I am perfectly neutral, and if you were a stoic you would feel the same.’
