Sigmund Freud said, "Intelligence will be used in the service of the neurosis."

For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique.

• To Epictetus, all external events are determined by fate, and are thus beyond our control, but we can accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. Individuals, however, are responsible for their own actions which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline. Suffering arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power. As part of the universal city that is the universe, human beings have a duty of care to all fellow humans. The person who followed these precepts would achieve happiness.
