³⁰The Enchiridion, Paragraph 2; see also The Discourses I:4 by the same author. The same point was further made by Epicurus—who seems to have been seriously misunderstood. Epicurus proposed that there are a few desires which need to be satisfied since they are both natural and necessary: Food, water, and shelter; these desires are also easy to satisfy. In contrast, desire for money, power, fame etc. are unnatural and unnecessary; they are also insatiable. Optimal “pleasure” is obtained by rejecting desires which are not natural and necessary. See Epicurus’s Letter to Menoeceus, Hadot (2002, p.34) and (Konstan, 2018) on the insatiability/satiability (or satisfiability) distinction.
