On Pain

pg.47: meditations: Book 8 : Stoic 6 Pack

If you take away thy opinion
that which appears to give you pain
you will stand in perfect security

Do it through the power of Reason

But you are saying -"I am not reason"
Hmmm...
Let then the reason itself not trouble itself

but if any other part of you - suffers-
let it not have an opinion about itself!
