I still don't understand what is in our control, probably due to the translation. He says that "in a word, whatever is our actions" but previously meantions things that are in our control which are not actions "desire, aversion" for example. What was the actual point we was trying to make?

Let me put it in a language you can understand.

Shawty there's things you be doin that you be doin cuz you do them. But things they do to you u cannot have power over. But you can use what you can do to the best you can fr fr no cap.

NGL when shit is sussing not bussin, u Gon blame the otha guy, but u can do so much to get from sussin to bussin. Fr fr no cap.
