Already my favorite book of the year, gotta love the stoics.
“No man is free who is not master of himself.”
“Difficulties are things that show a person what they are.”
“If God had made it possible for his own fragment (that he gave us) to be hindered or compelled by anyone including himself, then he wouldn’t be God, looking after us the way he has been.”
Where did we go wrong humanity??

“Behold the birth of tragedy: when idiots come face to face with the vicissitudes of life.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself sir.

Double cool coincidence: right now in the Mass cycle we are reading the Acts of the Apostles. Sts. Peter and Paul would have been executed when Epictetus was a slave in Rome at the age of 9-13. That’s incredible
