Dear Readers,
As always, thank you for reading and listening this week! Below is a short contemplation from Epicurus and links to this week’s videos and meditations on the art of living. Until next week, be wise and be well!
📿 The Pleasant Life
This week’s contemplation comes from the Greek philosopher Epicurus (341–270 BC). In his Principle Doctrines, Epicurus wrote,
It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the person is not able to live wisely, though he lives well and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life.
Contemplation Questions (Pick one or create your own!):
Why does Epicurus connect living pleasantly with living wisely?
What does it mean to live a pleasant life?
