OK...nearest book...Epictetus' Discourses! Hahahaha!

For consider; you have fine clothes and your neighbor does not; you have a window and wish to air them. He does not know wherein the true good of man consists, but fancies that it consists in having fine clothes, the very same fancy that you also entertain.  Shall he not come, then, and carry them off? Why, when you show a cake to gluttonous men and then gulp it down all to yourself, are you not wanting them to snatch it?  Stop provoking them, stop having a window, stop airing your clothes.
