“Then what makes a beautiful human being? Isn’t it the presence of human excellence?
Young friend, if you wish to be beautiful, then work diligently at human excellence.
And what is that?
Observe those whom you praise without prejudice.
The just or the unjust? The just.
The even-tempered or the undisciplined? The even-tempered.
The self-controlled or the uncontrolled? The self-controlled.
In making yourself that kind of person, you will become beautiful—but to the extent you ignore these qualities, you’ll be ugly, even if you use every trick in the book to appear beautiful.”
—EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 3.1.6b–9

The individual who understands he/ she was not born in this era by happenstance cannot as easily be negatively affected by the world circus.
Suffering arises from attachment, and attachment comes from spiritual ignorance.
The mature soul becomes aware of the principles and transitory nature of physical reality.
The harder the times one incarnates in, the greater the opportunity for growth.
Therefore, the wise embrace struggle and grab the bull by the horns, like Theseus.
