Within our power are opinion, aim, desire, - aversion, and, in one word, whatever affairs are our own. Beyond our - power are body, property, reputation, office, and, in one word, whatever - are not properly our own affairs. - - Now the things within our power are by nature free, unrestricted, - unhindered; but those beyond our power are weak, dependent, restricted, - alien. Remember, then, that if you attribute freedom to things by nature - dependent and take what belongs to others for your own, you will be - hindered, you will lament, you will be disturbed, you will find fault - both with gods and men. But if you take for your own only that which is - your own and view what belongs to others just as it really is, then no - one will ever compel you, no one will restrict you; you will find fault - with no one, you will accuse no one, you will do nothing against your - will; no one will hurt you, you will not have an enemy, nor will you - suffer any harm. - - Aiming, therefore, at such great things, remember that you must not allow - yourself any inclination, however slight, toward the attainment of the - others; but that you must entirely quit some of them, and for the present - postpone the rest. But if you would have these, and possess power and - wealth likewise, you may miss the latter in seeking the former; and you - will certainly fail of that by which alone happiness and freedom are - procured. - - Seek at once, therefore, to be able to say to every unpleasing semblance, - “You are but a semblance and by no means the real thing.” And then - examine it by those rules which you have; and first and chiefly by this: - whether it concerns the things which are within our own power or those - which are not; and if it concerns anything beyond our power, be prepared - to say that it is nothing to you. - - XII - - If you would improve, lay aside such reasonings as these: “If I neglect - my affairs, I shall not have a maintenance; if I do not punish my - servant, he will be good for nothing.” For it were better to die of - hunger, exempt from grief and fear, than to live in affluence with - perturbation; and it is better that your servant should be bad than you - unhappy. - - Begin therefore with little things. Is a little oil spilled or a little - wine stolen? Say to yourself, “This is the price paid for peace and - tranquillity; and nothing is to be had for nothing.” And when you call - your servant, consider that it is possible he may not come at your call; - or, if he does, that he may not do what you wish. But it is not at all - desirable for him, and very undesirable for you, that it should be in his - power to cause you any disturbance. -- cgit v1.2.3
