The Handbook of Epictetus (How to be happier!)

in philosophy •  7 years ago 

Good one Sezycei. It's always worth mentioning this ancient philosophy. Stoicism is probably the best antidote amongst the never-ending outrage and trolling that is constantly bombarding social media these days.
Epictetus also included a line in the Enchiridion that captures all of the meaningless indignation very concisely: "Not things, but opinions about things, trouble men." Is anyone else sick of the alt-right crew throwing childish tantrums?
And once Epictetus has been considered, it's time for Marcus Aurelius.
