Socrates believes in self-control-being in control of what you do what ails you and what you allow to bother you. In conjunction with this is the concept of love. According to Socrates lust or sexual desire is on of the lowest forms of love; thus does always need to be obtained. Rather wisdom, the highest form of love according to Diotima and Socrates should be sought and revered. The concept of honoring life and love as it is, exemplified in the Handbook of Epictetus.
