Happy Twentieth of August!

Happy Twentieth of August! 

Oh my gosh the 20th is almost over here in my time zone and I haven’t issued a “Happy 20th” myself here at Facebook or Epicureanfriends.com, or seen anyone else do so! 😉 Life come at you hard sometimes with so many distractions, but I am in my eighth+ year of hard-core Epicurean studying, and I can say without reservation that it has changed my life for the better. I hope your time with Epicurus does as much for you as it has for me. Happy Twentieth and never forget what Epicurus, Metrodorus, and Hermarchus did for all of us!

(Note:  This post was originally placed on August 20 on Facebook, and is being reposted here now that posting is operational again.)

As Seneca recorded: Sic fac omnia tamquam spectet Epicurus! So do all things as though watching were Epicurus!

And as Philodemus wrote: “I will be faithful to Epicurus, according to whom it has been my choice to live.”
