240713 What I learned in my studies this morning 4

Today's Meditation(s):

Discourses, 4.1.60 (Waterfield)

Perhaps Epictetus is emphasizing that I need to include intangibles — appointments, positions, honors, boons — in our understanding of what can turn my soul to slavery. Baubles be damned, rank and high office often lure more than wondrous widgets.
