Indifferent!
Pg.87
What are things Indifferent?
Epictetus says:
Things that are not in our Power!
Like a dice in the game!
Those that are not in our power are nothing to me!
Those that you call: Exile, imprisonment, Death or
Power, Position or Prosperity
Am indifferent to them!
Epictetus says :
“Like a dice - I do not have the power that What number falls upon me;
But I have the power to use that number to advance my position;"
So there are two types of things:
Real Goods and Indifferent Goods ;
Real Goods: Joy, Peace, Enduring adversity, Humble-Calm-Gait
Indifferent Goods: Those that are not in your control!
“Anytus and Melitus may kill me indeed, but hurt me they cannot,” says Socrates. To injure me is beyond their power
