Cato didn't complain that the fight of the Roman Republic fell on him. Not once in Epictetus is lectures. Do we see him? Bemoan, the first 30 years of his life stolen as they were by slavery nor do we see Marcus Aurelius who had no desire to be Emperor who was beset by tragedy after tragedy in his life. Try to shirk his burdens onto anyone else on the contrary. It's unfortunate that this has happened. He wrote. No, it's fortunate that this has happened and I've remained unharmed by it not Shattered by the present or frightened the future. It could have happened to anyone but not everyone could have remained unharmed. I'd buy it which is exactly what we have to say. No matter how minor or major the difficulties that befall us. Why not me. I'm about due. No, I won't let someone else take my place.

I've got it.
