For the Stoics but also for all Hellenistic philosophers, philosophy is therapy, which seeks above all to produce peace of mind or ataraxia that leads to a care-free life. A life in which the only care that matters is the ethical care of one's character. 

​

According to Epicurus we should say,

​

"Thanks to blessed nature, who made necessary things easy to obtain, and things which are hard to obtain unnecessary".
