Description
Who is free and who is a slave? How can we live a good life? When do things and situations become masters of ourselves?
Our body, our health, our home and our property are not ours, says Epictetus. They are not under our control and therefore, when we desire any of these things, we desire something that does not depend on us. And the person who desires things that do not depend on themselves can only be a slave.
"Cleanse your ideas, so that you do not bind yourself to something that is not yours, so that something foreign does not develop with you, and so that you do not feel sorry if it leaves you. And say it daily, practicing it, like you practice at the gym, not that you are doing philosophy, but that you are trying to gain your freedom. Because that is true freedom."

It is at least unethical and above all disrespectful to Epictetus and all our ancestors for their writings to be distorted in a way that the translator wants to convey his own message. Epictetus never mentioned a god, as the poorly translated book deliberately states in many places! In such cases, if you want to learn true philosophy, read books that present the ancient texts alongside the translation. The mindset of the ancient Greeks stemmed from a different way of life. Good minds!
