The Stoics were excellent writers, and very skilled at using analogy to get their points across. In Chapter 15 of Epictetus’ handbook, he teaches us how to think about our relationship to external things. Epictetus believes that there are three stages to mastering our attachments to externals: Attached to externals, moderation with externals, and no concern for externals.
