Epictetus Stoic Wisdom on Self-Mastery
$2.50
Description
Epictetus, a Stoic philosopher, taught practical ethics for achieving inner peace by focusing on what is within one's control. The quote "Know what is yours and what is not" encapsulates the fundamental Stoic tension between what lies within our power and what remains outside it. Born enslaved, Epictetus's teachings profoundly resonate with the pursuit of freedom, not from external chains, but from the internal turmoil caused by misplaced focus. The visual, a balanced scale, elegantly symbolizes this critical act of discernment, weighing the controllable against the uncontrollable.
