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}
