So well done Brittany. You deconstruct philosophy as such well written narrative. Another talent for you to progress!

Agree, this was gripping. Maybe a screenplay? I'd love a Netflix series about the discourses of Epictetus...

Thanks, Scott! You're right, if Seneca gets a movie, why not Epictetus? His life would make a great epic series. Who knows, maybe someday.

This was brilliant. Something to be said for studying philosophy through story.
