What belongs to you?

 

Epictetus : Stoic 6 Pack


Always remember what belongs to you

And what belongs to another?

And you will not be disturbed 


So do this : take a thing

Classify if they are certain or uncertain 

If its uncertain cling to the outcomes which are more adapted to Nature 

For why are ears of corn produced?

Is it not that they become dry and to be reaped?


So in case of man as well, he.must be reaped

Its not a curse to die

Like it's not a curse to be ripened or reaped

But then why are men vexed about death?

Because he neither studied what he is

Nor what belongs to him
