pg 10 Book two Stoic 6 pack

The soul of a man does violence to itself :

1. To be vexed at anything - which is a separation of ourselves from Nature
2. Turns away from any man or moves towards him with the intent of injuring - physically or mentally
3. Overpowered by pleasure or pain
4. Does or says anything insincerely and untruly
5. Allows act of its own - and movement without an aim - even the smallest of things to be done with reference to the end!
