“IN THEORY THERE IS NOTHING TO HINDER OUR FOLLOWING WHAT WE ARE TAUGHT; BUT IN LIFE THERE ARE MANY THINGS TO DRAW US ASIDE.“
EPICTETUS
EPICTETUS BORN A SLAVE, WAS A GREEK STOIC PHILOSOPHER.
EPICTETUS TAUGHT THAT PHILOSOPHY IS A WAY OF LIFE AND NOT SIMPLY A THEORETICAL DISCIPLINE.
TO EPICTETUS, ALL EXTERNAL EVENTS ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL; WE SHOULD ACCEPT WHATEVER HAPPENS CALMLY AND DISPASSIONATELY. HOWEVER, INDIVIDUALS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS, WHICH THEY CAN EXAMINE AND CONTROL THROUGH RIGOROUS SELF-DISCIPLINE.
