Thus Epicurean philosophy teaches that a major source of fear in life is unfounded. If we properly understand our natural conception of the gods, we will see that we have no reason to fear them. We need simply to remind ourselves of the relevant facts at regular intervals by rehearsing the epitome of the Epicurean argument captured in the first of the Principal Doctrines: ‘what is blessed and indestructible has no troubles itself, nor does it give trouble to anyone else, so that it is not affected by feelings of anger or gratitude’ (KD 1; cf. Fin. 1.43).
