Epicurus On Worrying About The Future

in philosophy •  7 years ago 

Epicurus was an interesting man. Closely related to this post is his Tetrapharmakos, or four-part cure on living a happy life. Outlined by four parts:

  1. Don't fear god
  2. Don't worry about death
  3. What is good is easy to get
  4. What is terrible is easy to endure

Many would say he is wrong, but I do believe there is some right to it if we take some time to think.

And that is precisely the problem. Most people don't think; they have others think for them.
