I agree. Even scientifically it’s very obvious that external things control our emotions very little. Your happiness and reward systems are all hardwired and internal. Your own actions make up the bulk of your happiness. Therefore external things can influence and test your control over your own happiness but they cannot overcome it if you do the right things. If you’re living a good life noone can make you unhappy overall.
