Not the thing itself, but our opinion about it...

...it isn't death, pain, exile or anything else you care to mention that accounts for the way we act, only our opinion about death, pain and the rest...

...Whenever we do something wrong, then, from now on we will not blame anything except the opinion on which it's based...wife, child, slave or neighbor - in the future we won't name any of them as the authors of the evil in our lives, in the knowledge that, unless we judge things in a particular light, we wont act in the corresponding manner. And we, not externals, are the masters of our judgements.
