The truth is we have no excuse. People blame their poverty, or their background, or their history, or even their race for their lack of happiness. However, this is just scapegoating.

There are better ways of living, better ways of looking at life. Epictetus was a slave, yet he was entirely free. His master couldn't even break him by breaking his leg!

There is no character in history who is more qualified to show you how to free your mind than Epictetus. Stop scapegoating, live a better life!
