Yes, but this rather assumes that your current "Box of Daily Experience" is ok, and not, say, violent, insecure, poverty-stricken, or abusive.

Basically every immigrant ever has chosen to pick a new Box of Daily Experience, and often fairly reasonably.

The point of TFA (and Seneca's letter on which it is based) is not that you should just accept your Box of Daily Experience. It is that although you may have (and should have) control over most of what makes up your own Box of Daily Experience, there will always be a Box of Daily Experience. It is not arguing complacency about the contents, but is arguing for not trying to run from the basic fact of its existence.
