Let
the part of thy soul which leads and governs be undisturbed by the
movements in the flesh, whether of pleasure or of pain; and let it
not unite with them, but let it circumscribe itself and limit those
affects to their parts. But when these affects rise up to the mind by
virtue of that other sympathy that naturally exists in a body which
is all one, then thou must not strive to resist the sensation, for it
is natural: but let not the ruling part of itself add to the
sensation the opinion that it is either good or bad.
(podcast episode) (original Greek)
