DE Weekly: Epictetus, Amor Fati, & Memento Mori

“There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.” This quote comes to us from Epictetus, the Greek Stoic philosopher who lived in first century Rome.

Epictetus was a teacher of philosophy who, under the Emperor Domitian, was banished for teaching philosophy. He later founded a school of philosophy in Nicopolis.
