Have you ever read "Of Human Freedom" by Epictetus?

That... actually seems pretty great, I'll have to add it to my book list to get.

Not exactly 'enlightening' but yes i've read it.

@Picklebobble2 It counters all the modern self righteous politically correct bull we are immersed in by those who seem to desire to dominate our reason!

@Bc8627 Well that's an interesting context in which to link it but yes i see what you're getting at.

Epictetus was a stoic philosopher?

Bc8627 · 26-30, F

@DiscreetWriter He foreshadowed Marcus Aurelius

@Bc8627 I have read Marcus Aurelius's meditations. I think I need to pick up an Epictetus book soon.
