On Contemplation!

 On Contemplation!

Pg.77 

Epictetus


Six-pack Stoic


Epictetus says : 

“God introduced Man to be a spectator of Himself and His Works

Not a mere spectator, but as an interpreter as well;


It is a shame for Men to behave like Brutes do

Rather he should begin there and 

Leave where Nature leaves off in us; (by reason and thought!)

That is by contemplation, understanding, Manner of Life

That is in harmony with herself!


My note:

(Wo)Man is both the marble and a sculptor!
