Letter to Menoeceus
Contra the Stoics, Epicurus is attuned to the ways in which randomness effects our lives.
"Some things happen by necessity, others as the result of chance; other things are subject to our control."
"In few instances does chance intrude upon the wise man, but reason has administered his greatest and most important affairs..."
- Epicurus
Bad things happen, but if you are living your life virtuously, then you'll be able to handle it.
