Epicurean teaching is thus a very efficient antidote to all political or religious manipulation that requires people to sacrifice their present happiness for (their children’s) happiness in a future time or a different place (like “Heaven”).

Epicurus teaches us that happiness can be achieved by anybody any time: all we need to attain it is the right attitude which is the result of reasoning and reflection.
