 and instead identify themselves with
their creaturely body seeing that our
birth involves the blending of these two
things the body on the one hand that we
share with animals and on the other hand
rationality and intelligence that we
share with the gods
most of us inclined to this former
relationship wretched and dead though it
is while only a few to the one that is
divine and blessed
by cultivating this God within the
Stoics believed we could achieve an
inner freedom untouched by the iron
hammer of fate this inner freedom would
not enable one to change what has
already been predetermined but instead
would allow one to respond and react to
these events freely and consciously and
thereby control the effect that such
events had on one's happiness Seneca for
example thought that we should accept
and even love whatever fate brings our
way what is a good man's role wrote
Seneca to offer himself to fate it is a
great consolation that we are swept
along together with the universe
to better explain their ideas concerning
fate Epictetus used the analogy of a
game of dice which had been put forth by
Plato hundreds of years before
Epictetus lived we must accept what
happens as we would accept the fall of
dice and then arrange our affairs in
whatever way reason best determines the
contrast between the events of our life
predetermined by fate and the inner
fortress of freedom we have the
potential to cultivate delimits the key
tenets of stoicism some things are up to
us and some things are not up to us
according to the Stoics most things are
not up to us or in other words are
beyond our control the actions and
opinions of other people our health our
reputation and the amount of wealth we
amass
are examples of things not up to us
these things can be influenced one way
or another through our actions but
ultimately they are things outside of
our complete control the things which
are up to us or within our complete
control are the things which emanate
from our mind
for example our opinions judgments
beliefs desires and goals
according to the Stoics misery and
suffering result from the fact that
people make their happiness dependent on
things which are ultimately outside of
their control and in doing so enslave
themselves
Epictetus who was a born slave and
became a free man later in his life is
quoted as saying a man's master is he
who is able to confer or remove whatever
that man seeks or shuns whoever then
would be free let him wish nothing
let him decline nothing which depends on
others else he must necessarily be a
slave to give up our self-imposed
slavery we must regard as indifferent
all those things which do not lie within
our control and make our happiness
dependent only on those things which are
up to us for example since our desires
are up to us we can train ourselves to
cease desiring the things which are not
in our control the vast majority of
people do not do this but instead
slavishly chase after external goods
such as wealth power or sexual
gratification believing that it is only
by attaining these things that they will
feel good Epictetus contrasted this
slavish individual with the individual
who has attained inner freedom
whenever you see someone holding
political power set against it the fact
that you yourself have no need of power
whenever you see someone wealthy observe
what you have instead of that for if you
have nothing in its place you are in a
miserable state but if you have the
absence of the need to have wealth
realize that you have something greater
and much more valuable one man has a
beautiful wife
you have the absence of longing for a
beautiful wife do you think these are
little things
how much would these very people the
wealthy the powerful the ones who live
with beautiful women pay for the ability
to look down on wealth and power and
those very women whom they adore and get
the problem with making our happiness
dependent on things outside of our
control is that when such things are
lacking we will be miserable and
alternatively when we do have them we
will often be so anxious about losing
them we won't be able to enjoy them
it is crucial to note here that the
Stoics did not advocate that one shun
all those things which are not up to us
Rather's things such as health wealth
the good reputation good food and drink
love and sexual pleasures all these and
more were things which the stoical
enjoyed if they came his way yet unlike
practically everyone else the stoic was
not attached to them and his happiness
was not dependent on them this meant not
only that in their absence the stoic
still lived a life filled with joy and
tranquility but that when external goods
did come his way he was able to enjoy
them without being anxious about losing
them as Seneca stated it is in no man's
power to have whatever he wants but he
has it in his power not to wish for what
he hasn't got and cheerfully make the
most of the things that do come his way
but what about the times in our life
when we face not just the absence of
certain external goods but grave
misfortunes and adversity one advice
that the Stoics have for these times to
understand how a stoic would approach
such a situation we must heed the words
of epictetus it is not things that
trouble us but our judgments about
things the loss of a loved one the
crumbling of a career sickness or the
utter destruction of one's reputation
are not inherently bad but are only bad
because we judge them to be so if we
would but look at our misfortunes with a
