"The newly read text discusses the stoic concept of hormē, or impulse, and warns that failing to regulate behaviour with reason can lead to harmful passions and diversion from one’s goals. Another concept is phronēsis or “practical wisdom”, the highest virtue a person can have in stoic philosophy.
In one passage, the author writes: “We will inquire into something, but we will not grasp it, if in some way we depart from ourselves and from our own nature.” The line suggests that reason and the innate human inclination to do good were crucial for furthering one’s knowledge."

When a dog is tied to a cart, if it wants to follow, it is pulled and follows, making its spontaneous act coincide with necessity. But if the dog does not follow, it will be compelled in any case. So it is with men too: even if they don’t want to, they will be compelled to follow what is destined.
— Zeno of Citum
