Asked, Who Is The Rich Man? Epictetus

It Is Impossible To Begin To Learn That Which One Thinks One Already Knows.

Caretake This Moment. Immerse Yourself In Its Particulars. Respond To This Person, This Challenge, This Deed. Quit Evasions. Stop Giving Yourself Needless Trouble. It Is Time To Really Live; To Fully Inhabit The Situation You Happen To Be In Now.

When A Youth Was Giving Himself Airs In The Theatre And Saying, 'i Am Wise, For I Have Conversed With Many Wise Men,' Epictetus Replied, 'i Too Have Conversed With Many Rich Men, Yet I Am Not Rich!’.

If Evil Be Spoken Of You And It Be True, Correct Yourself, If It Be A Lie, Laugh At It.

No Living Being Is Held By Anything So Strongly As Its Own Needs.
