The Stoics ____ that we should see ourselves as always hovering between a Free and a Determined state. We are, they said, like dogs who have been ____ to an unpredictable cart. Our ____ is long enough to give us a degree of leeway, but is not long enough ever just to allow us to ____ wherever we please. It’s our ____ that must judge the difference and this is where we have a big advantage over a dog. It allows us to ____ when our wishes are in irrevocable conflict with reality, and then bids us to submit ourselves ____, rather than angrily or bitterly, to necessities. We may be powerless to ____ certain events, but we remain free to choose our attitude towards them, and it is in an unprotesting ____ of what is truly necessary that we can find a distinctive serenity and freedom.
