Epicurus, Greek philosopher: “The wealth that nature demands is limited and easy to obtain, but the wealth that empty ideas demand is infinite.”

Infobae published a brief biographical note regarding Epicurus of Samos, a prominent philosopher of the Hellenistic period. The report highlights his establishment of 'El Jardín' in Athens, a school noted for its inclusive approach to education during the 4th century B.C.

The publication contextualizes the philosopher’s legacy by citing his perspective on material desire. Epicurus posited that natural requirements are finite and attainable, contrasting this with the infinite and unattainable nature of desires driven by empty or superficial ideas.
