Enchiridion 2

A quote
Remember that desire contains in it the profession of obtaining that which you desire; and the profession in aversion is that you will not fall into that which you attempt to avoid: and he who fails in his desire is unfortunate, and he who falls into that which he would avoid, is unhappy.
Epictetus·Enchiridion 2·trans. Long
