This is a video of Epicurus's Riddle, which has been contemplated by many people.


 * Today Epicurus's philosophy has been slightly misconstrued. People who enjoy the finer things and are conoissers of the arts can be considered epicureans. However, Epicurus beleived that happiness can be found by living simply and not to fear death. If people let go of stress and get over the fear of death that is considered to be the highest level of happiness. Nowadays, people confuse his idea by thinking to be happy one must have material things and money.
