According to the [[Stoic philosophy|Stoic philosophers]], it is best to be indifferent to things that are beyond our control. It's not about not caring how something turns out, you can have a preference. Instead, it's about cultivating a mindset where you'll be good either way, no matter how it turns out.
This is very similar to one of my personal commandments - [[Fall in with it]]. Accept the hand you've been dealt and, rather than resist or avoid the outcome that is beyond your control, choose how you are going to respond in a way that allows you to grow and make the best of the situation.
