“Thoughts on Epicurus”

The Four-Part Cure of Epicurus (341 BCE – 270 BCE)
Don’t fear god,
Don’t worry about death,
What is good is easy to get, and
What is terrible is easy to endure.
(as stated by Philodemus [c. 110 BCE – c. 40 BCE])
And this Happiness will come
when we are Matrophilial:
our lives a song of love
for the Love.
Happiness was the very core of Epicurus’ philosophy. And happiness – true, deep, Happiness – is living in the Smile of the Mother.
