Doesn’t this sound familiar?
“Remember that it’s not only the desire for wealth and position that debases and subjugates us, but also the desire for peace, leisure, travel, and learning. It doesn’t matter what the external thing is, the value we place on it subjugates us to another . . . where our heart is set, there our impediment lies.”
—EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 4.4.1–2; 15
If you’re like me, it may have reminded you of some scripture passages:
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21, NIV).
