Every person is a reflection of their time. However‚ if born today I believe Epicurus’s four-part cure would at its core still be the same and hold great merit.

Religion Religion. “the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power‚ esp. a personal God or gods”. Religion is looked at differently by every single individual.
