“All these philosophies(Stoicism,Epicureanism, Pyrrhonism)have a common failing.
They imagine life can be ordered by human reason.
Either the Mind can devise a way of life that is secure from loss ,or else it can control the emotions so that it can withstand any loss. In fact ,neither how we live nor the emotions we feel can be controlled in this way.
Our lives are shaped by chance and our emotions by the body.Much of human life -and much of philosophy - is an attempt to divert ourselves from this fact.”
