The ones in accordance with nature can't be avoided, such as the passage of time and my fist up your arse. By trying to avoid the inevitable you are not leading a virtuous or good life, you are leading a foolish life.The absense of fists up my arsehole I regard as a preferred indifferent. It is something that I pursue as long as it doesn't get in the way of living a virtuous life. Much like health, wealth, education, lower Norwood levels, and so forth.
After all, the idea that the pursuit/avoidance of externals is inconsistent with eudaimonia sounds more Cynic than Stoic.
