as posted by the channel

There are few Greek Philosophers who are as maligned as Epicurus. And he chose a very important subject for his study - Happiness. While happiness is now seen as a shallow pursuit, Epicurus viewed it as the principal human aim. But he thought pursuing happiness was like playing with fire, and if you are not careful, you can fall into misery instead. He can certainly teach us a lot about how to survive in the modern world.
