SEEKING KNOWLEDGE AND AVOIDING ERROR

WHAT IS REAL?

A property is what cannot under any circumstances be severed and separated from a body… such is the relationship of heaviness to rocks, heat to fire, liquidity to water… On the other hand, to slavery, poverty and wealth, freedom, war, concord, and all other things whose coming and going does not impair the essential nature of a thing, we… apply the appropriate term accidents.

Lucretius

All events without exception have, unlike matter, no independent existence.

Lucretius
