Numbers 6 - 10 for Epictetus
6. What I see is that we should be happy for others when they succeed, but its even better when we are happy when we succeed. We are not going to get anything out of other peoples greatness.
7. Perhaps what Epictetus wanted to tell us in seven is that we should not get caught up in worldly things, because there are far more important things out there.
8. I believe here we are told that if we want life to go the way we plan it, we will live miserably. But if we wait to see what happens, we will live much better.
9. This passage shows us that illness should not change our morals, or the people we love.
10. I find this interesting. I shall translate it as, "when you go through a situation in life, think about how you will react to it"
