What Is True Freedom - Epictetus & Stoics
3Epictetus stated, " freedom isn’t secured by filling up on your heart’s desire but by removing your desire.” Having everything you desire or wanting everything you already have are the two ways to be wealthy. However, in the present moment, it is simpler to focus on wanting everything you already have in order to attain wealth. This concept applies not only to material possessions but also to intangible aspects such as freedom. Rather than straining, battling, and struggling for more, true freedom can be found by identifying and concentrating on the freedom already possessed.
