What ideas from Epictetus do you like other than his adherence to the Socratic principle of “Know thyself”?
don’t lie to yourself and do the RIGHT thing…
What Right Thing?
whatever YOU think is right ier
That’s not what Epictetus said. Just because you think something is right, does not make it right.
"He was a man of great sweetness, as well as personal simplicity, who was humble, charitable and especially loving toward children, but he was also possessed of great moral and religious intensity. This disciplined fervor was an excellent example of Stoic tranquility, which is not simply the absence of feeling but the presence of principled moral and religious tension–“Tonos”.
Epictetus-- Hallie, 1967
