Freedom Men Restraint

More From Epictetus

Restraint never ruins one's health. what ruins it,is not restraint but outward suppression. a really self-restrained person grows every day from strength to strength and from peace to more peace. the very first step in self-restraint is the restraint of thoughts.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

Our technological society has no longer any place in it for wisdom that seeks truth for its own sake, that seeks the fullness of being, that seeks to rest in an intuition of the very ground of all being. without wisdom, the apparent opposition of action and contemplation, of work and rest, of involvement and detachment, can never be resolved.
Truth Intuition Sake
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. fellow creators the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest.
