September 13th Reading from The Daily Stoic - Protecting Our Inner Fortress From Fear
"No, it is events that give rise to fear - when another has power over them or can prevent them, that person becomes able to inspire fear. How is the fortress destroyed? Not by iron or fire, but by judgments . . . here is where we must begin, and it is from this front that we must seize the fortress and throw out the tyrants."
~ Epictetus, Discourses, 4.1.85-86, 87a
