Yeah I think that’s the part I remember and I remember being taught that it was wrong, but I interpreted the one part differently and out of context as basically, “we are not in control” not meaning, “don’t do anything and be a drunk”, but to try to enjoy what we can and accept what we can’t control. Again, I have no idea what I’m talking about. I just liked the wording and how it made me think.

That's not wrong, and enjoying what you can while accepting what you can't control is a good strategy. The flip side is, that's probably the best strategy anyone can use from a materialist perspective. But in the end it still doesn't manage to provide real fulfillment and meaning in life.
