To write the “No news is good news” text, I was inspired by my yesterday’s text (I wrote the current text on the 15th of February, 2026), “Nothing spectacular.”
It happens not for the first time in my life, when I decided to write the subsequent text, being inspired by the text which I wrote earlier. Indeed, I believe that “No news is good news” is a catchy phrase. After all, I like to hear that nothing unusual happens in the life of my beloved Kamilka, parents, family, and friends. It means that, more or less, most things go according to plan. We all like this state of reality and our minds. Still, what if something does not go according to plan? What if we have to adjust and change our plans? I try to be a stoic in such cases. In such cases, I try to answer one crucial question:
Why does it matter?
Why does the change of plan matter at all? In general, the answer is that 99% things that happen in our lives, including changes to plans, do not matter at all. That’s the way it is. I believe in Stoic philosophy. I believe that we should behave like a stone standing in the middle of the sea. This stone is being struck by thunder, waterfalls, and is blown up by the harsh winds. Despite it, it is standing still. For me, it does not mean we would be resistant to everything that happens in our lives.
I believe that no matter what happens in our lives, we should adjust and adapt to everything that happens to us. By doing this, we could always say that there is no news in our lives, because we would not get too much excited about things that happen to us. Don’t worry, my Dear Friend, because everything is out of control.
