In more modern terms, I would call what Epictetus does here a reframing. It's used in therapy, marketing, PR and presumably other areas as well. Essentially it's saying "well, but if you look at it $this way$, it's not so bad, is it?" . When strangers tell you that, it's very often with a malicious motivation, but it can be a helpful tool for coping with your own stuff. |
