There are enough irksome and troublesome things in life; aren't things just as bad at the Olympic festival? Aren't you scorched there by the
fierce heat? Aren't you crushed in the crowd? Isn't it difficult to freshen yourself up? Doesn't the rain soak you to the skin? Aren't you
bothered by the noise, the din and other nuisances? But it seems to me that you are well able to bear and indeed gladly endure all this, when
you think of the gripping spectacles that you will see.
{Epictetus, 1st-2nd century AD}
