Symptoms of Illness
pg.58 Stoic 6 Pack Epictetus
Did you observe in this man?
He sinks in his knees
and shifts from foot to foot
he is in a fever
He would be anxious about
Poor Body, Little Property
And the will of Caesar
But not anxious about
Forming a false opinion ot
exerting influences contrary to Nature
As a Physician sees a man pale,
and judges from his patient's complexion
This man's spleen is disordered
that man's liver is in trouble
Likewise, you may diagnose that
This man's desire and aversion are disordered.
