Up to us are opinion, impulse, desire, aversion — in a word, whatever is our own doing. Not up to us are our body, property, reputation, office — in a word, whatever is not our own doing.” --- 🧠 핵심 의미 (압축 해석) 통제 가능한 것: 판단, 선택, 욕망, 태도 통제 불가능한 것: 몸, 재산, 평판, 타인의 행동 👉 즉, **“내가 통제할 수 없는 것에 집착하지 말고, 내가 통제할 수 있는 것에 집중하라”**는 원칙입니다. Epictetus의 Enchiridion 2장 원문은 다음과 같습니다. --- 📜 그리스어 원문 (Enchiridion 2) > Μνημόνευε ὅτι ἐὰν τὰ φύσει δουλικά ἐλεύθερα νομίζῃς καὶ τὰ ἀλλότρια ἴδια, ἐμποδισθήσῃ, πενθήσεις, ταραχθήσῃ, καὶ θεοὺς καὶ ἀνθρώπους μέμψῃ· ἐὰν δὲ μόνον τὸ σὸν νομίζῃς σὸν καὶ τὸ ἀλλότριον, ὡς ἔστιν, ἀλλότριον, οὐδεὶς σε ἀναγκάσει, οὐδεὶς σε κωλύσει, οὐδένα μέμψῃ, οὐδενὶ ἐγκαλέσεις, οὐδὲν ποιήσεις ἄκοντος· οὐδεὶς σε βλάψει, οὐδένα ἔξεις ἐχθρόν· οὐδὲν γὰρ βλαβερόν πάσχεις. --- 📘 영어 번역 (대표 번역) > “Remember that if you regard as your own what is by nature enslaved and what belongs to others, you will be hindered, you will grieve, you will be disturbed, and you will blame both gods and men. But if you regard only what is your own as your own, and what belongs to others as it truly is, no one will ever compel you, no one will restrain you; you will blame no one, accuse no one; you will do nothing against your will; no one will harm you, you will have no enemy; for you will suffer no harm.” --- 🧠 핵심 한 줄 요약 👉 “내 것이 아닌 것을 내 것이라 착각하면 고통이 생기고, 내 것만 내 것으로 보면 누구도 나를 해칠 수 없다.” Epictetus의 Enchiridion 3장 원문은 다음과 같습니다. --- 📜 그리스어 원문 (Enchiridion 3) > Περὶ ἕκαστον τῶν ἐπιθυμητῶν καὶ χρησίμων καὶ στεργομένων μνημόνευε λέγειν, ποῖόν ἐστιν, ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῶν σμικροτάτων· εἰ φίλημα ἀσπάζῃ, ὅτι ἀνθρώπου φίλημα· οὕτω γὰρ οὐ ταραχθήσῃ ἐὰν ἀφαιρεθῇ. εἰ δὲ υἱὸν ἢ γυναῖκα καταφιλεῖς, λέγε ὅτι ἄνθρωπον καταφιλεῖς· οὕτως οὐ ταραχθήσῃ ἐὰν ἀποθάνῃ. --- 📘 영어 번역 (대표 번역) > “In the case of everything that delights you or is useful or that you love, remember to tell yourself what sort of thing it is, beginning with the smallest things. If you kiss your child or your wife, say that you are kissing a human being; for when it dies, you will not be disturbed.” --- 🧠 핵심 의미 (압축 해석) 👉 “사랑하는 것조차 ‘언젠가 사라질 수 있는 것’으로 인식하라.” 모든 것은 유한하고 조건적 집착이 클수록 상실의 고통도 커짐 미리 인식하면 → 상실에도 고통이 사라진다.

If you are going to bathe, picture to yourself what happens in a bathhouse: people splashing, pushing, abusing, stealing. Thus you will undertake the action more safely, if you say at once: ‘I want to bathe and also to keep my will in accordance with nature.’ And so with everything. For if any hindrance arises, you will be ready to say: ‘I did not only want this, but also to keep my will in accordance with nature.’” --- 🧠 핵심 의미 (압축 해석) 👉 “행동하기 전에 방해를 미리 상상하라.” 현실은 항상 예상 밖의 변수가 있음 목표는 단순히 “일을 이루는 것”이 아니라 👉 태도를 유지하는 것(프로아이레시스) 일이 망가져도 → 내 태도는 망가지지 않게 --- 원하면 1~4장을 하나로 묶어서 실전용 스토아 사고 프레임으로 만들어줄게.

For example, death is nothing terrible— otherwise it would have appeared so to Socrates. But the judgment that death is terrible, that is what is terrible. When, therefore, we are hindered or disturbed or grieved, let us never blame others, but ourselves— that is, our judgments. An uneducated person blames others, a partly educated person blames himself, a fully educated person blames neither others nor himself.” --- 🧠 핵심 의미 (압축 해석) 👉 “사건이 아니라, 사건에 대한 ‘판단’이 우리를 괴롭힌다.” 현실 = 중립 고통 = 해석에서 발생 성숙 단계 무지: 남 탓 반쯤 배움: 자기 탓 완성: 판단 자체를 내려놓음 --- 원하면 1~5장을 묶어서 **‘멘탈 붕괴 방지용 스토아 5단계 시스템’**으로 정리해줄게.

If a horse were to say, ‘I am beautiful,’ that would be tolerable; but when you say, ‘I have a beautiful horse,’ know that you are taking pride in the horse’s excellence. What, then, is your own? The use of impressions. Therefore, when you use impressions in accordance with nature, then you may take pride; for then you take pride in something that is your own.” --- 🧠 핵심 의미 (압축 해석) 👉 “내 것이 아닌 것으로 자부심을 갖지 마라.” 재산, 외모, 지위 → 진짜 ‘내 것’ 아님 진짜 내 것 = 판단하고 해석하는 능력(이성) 자부심은 → 내 태도와 선택에서만 가져라 --- 원하면 1~6장을 하나로 묶어서 **‘완전한 스토아 실전 매뉴얼’**로 만들어줄게.

And if he calls, you must leave all those things, so that you are not bound and thrown aboard like sheep. So it is in life: if, instead of a shell, a wife or a child is given to you, nothing prevents you from enjoying them; but if the captain calls, run back to the ship, leaving all these things behind, without turning back. And if you are old, do not wander far from the ship, lest you fail to return when called.” --- 🧠 핵심 의미 (압축 해석) 👉 “인생의 본질(배)을 잊지 말고, 부수적인 것(조개)에 집착하지 마라.” 삶의 중심 = 이성, 덕, 본분 가족·재산·즐거움 = 잠시 주어진 것 언제든 “부름(죽음·운명)”이 오면 👉 미련 없이 내려놓을 준비 Epictetus의 Enchiridion 8장 원문은 다음과 같습니다. --- 📜 그리스어 원문 (Enchiridion 8) > Μὴ ζήτει τὰ γινόμενα γίνεσθαι ὡς θέλεις, ἀλλὰ θέλε τὰ γινόμενα γίνεσθαι ὡς γίνεται, καὶ εὐροήσεις. --- 📘 영어 번역 (대표 번역) > “Do not seek for events to happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well.” --- 🧠 핵심 의미 (압축 해석) 👉 “세상을 바꾸려 하지 말고, 받아들이는 방식을 바꿔라.” 고통의 원인 = 현실과 욕망의 충돌 해결 = 현실을 재구성하려는 집착 포기 결과 → 평정(ataraxia) --- 원하면 1~8장을 하나로 묶어서 **‘멘탈 붕괴 방지용 스토아 8단계’**로 정리해줄게. 이미 한 번 제시된 내용이지만, 정확히 다시 정리해서 제공합니다.

It has been returned. Has your wife died? She has been returned. Has your property been taken from you? Well, that too has been returned. ‘But the person who took it is bad.’ What concern is it of yours through whom the giver has reclaimed it?
