Epicurus was a Greek philosopher who thought and spoke a great deal about happiness, contentment, and living well. Among the numerous nuggets of wisdom he offered were:
“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
“It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.”
“Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.”
“Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.”
Today, with so much talk about hard times, corporate greed, and the search for the good life, much of his message seems relevant to me today.
Following is a very well produced video entitled, "Epicurus on Happiness. It offers some valuable food for thought. Parts two and three of the three part series are available at y0utube.com
