What Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong and wasteful and irrational.

爱比克泰德会说，呆坐在家里干着急是错误的、浪费精力的以及不理性的。

He is a holy fool, a young escaped convict inspired by the 2, 000-year-old philosophy of the Stoics, which he garners from a mutilated volume of Epictetus.
