@daily_stoic: Have you read Discourses of Epictetus? Discourses is rooted in common experience and common sense, which helps explain these teachings from nearly two millennia ago continue to inform and shape the lives of present-day readers. Throughout Discourses, Epictetus teaches the importance of distinguishing between what we can and what we cannot control; accepting nature’s course and it’s challenges; living a virtuous life among other virtuous people; choosing freedom by detaching from desires; and being a master to yourself by being a slave only to your mind. #epictetus #discoursesofepictetus #stoicism #philosophy #stoicphilosophy #wisdom #ancientwisdom #History
