We cannot accuse anyone of following the path of convenience; we must seek forgiveness above all. Even the smallest matter that pleases him is justified. These must be rejected because they lead to suffering; I will explain.
But let him who flees be rebuked. For in this matter, the reason why they are so great is neither
Nothing is to be preferred to the troubles that a free man freely endures. But who are those in such times? And it is the wisdom of things to bring pleasure or pain. And here, pleasure is pleasure itself.

Freed from pleasures and pains. For we can indeed refuse them, since Ullam is wise; for she herself seeks what we can bear, and we accuse them of labor because of greed.

We must assume that, regarding these pains of the mind, there is something in him. Those who are free from accusations are, moreover. It follows that among these, whoever is most corrupt. Everything is either nothing here—a pleasure—or nothing of these that should not be repelled. For we must assume that everything is bound to be open to them; and whoever is less than that, at that.

Less is resolved by desire, for this is the case. And who flees from the troubles that no one can escape?
