@ TELEGRAM: “IN THEORY THERE IS NOTHING TO HINDER OUR FOLLOWING WHAT WE ARE TAUGHT; BUT IN LIFE THERE ARE MANY THINGS TO DRAW US ASIDE.“ EPICTETUS EPICTETUS BORN A SLAVE, WAS A GREEK STOIC PHILOSOPHER. EPICTETUS TAUGHT THAT PHILOSOPHY IS A WAY OF LIFE AND NOT SIMPLY A THEORETICAL DISCIPLINE. TO EPICTETUS, ALL EXTERNAL EVENTS ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL; WE SHOULD ACCEPT WHATEVER HAPPENS CALMLY AND DISPASSIONATELY. HOWEVER, INDIVIDUALS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS, WHICH THEY CAN EXAMINE AND CONTROL THROUGH RIGOROUS SELF-DISCIPLINE. #historyandphilosophy #philosophy #epictetus #stoicism #selfdiscipline #innabesedina #education #selfdevelopment #selfeducation #hellenisticphilosophy #westernphilosophy #philosophicalthought #ethics #philosophicalthoughts #studying #shortsvideo #shorts #interesting #wisdomquotes #wisdom #smartquotes #cleverquotes #thoughts #selfgrowth
