Heraclitus was an ancient philosopher who believed that opposites were united. He said that "the way upward and downward" are "one and the same" and that "all things are one." This reflects his view that opposites rely on and need each other, and that things always give way to their opposites.

Epictetus was a Stoic philosopher who believed that unhappiness is the result of caring about things not within our control. We ought to practice resisting impressions, presented to us by the world, that things like our health, wealth, loved ones, etc., matter. If we don't, we'll never be happy.
