Should I be fatalistic toward the future?

I write this in the middle of Covid-19 pandemic.

It’s easy to think, ‘oh it’s not fair’. If only that person in China who first contracted the disease didn’t go to that seafood market. If only I would have save more money. If only, if only, if only.

There is a great saying suggesting we should not cry over spilled milk. This is a profoundly deep stoic thought.

The Stoics were fatalists. This means that whatever happened was meant to happen and whatever happens will happen regardless of whatever happens.
