Traditional wisdom from Stoics, Buddhists, and Christianity emphasizes the importance of letting go of negative stories and narratives. Buddhism teaches about impermanence and the need to let go of everything. The Stoics advise against getting attached to emotions and narratives, promoting non-judgment. Christianity promotes radical forgiveness and turning the other cheek. These teachings serve as constant reminders for humans to avoid buying into self-serving, judgmental narratives that are likely inaccurate. Instead, it is beneficial to focus on learning from experiences, finding ways to benefit from them, and considering how they can serve personal growth in the future.
