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.
