You Can't Want Both

Enchiridion by Epictetus, Chapter 13:

For be assured, it is not easy at once to keep your will in harmony with nature and to secure externals; but while you are absorbed in the one, you must of necessity neglect the other.

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy defines "external" in the context of Epictetus's philosophy as:

‘external’; any of those things that fall outside the preserve of one’s prohairesis, including health, wealth, sickness, life, death, pain – what Epictetus calls aprohaireta, which are not in our power, the ‘indifferent‘ things.

The Epictetus quote, and particularly the last sentence, reminded me of a passage in The Fountainhead:

衣装の候補を絞る場合は、サイズ、素材、装飾、付属品を同じ基準で見比べることが大切です。商品仕様や選び方を比べたい場合は、ゴスロリ ワンピース 大きいサイズから関連情報を確認できます。注文前に使用日と発送予定を照らし合わせ、試着や調整に使える時間も確保しておくと安心です。

Keating wants the "simple and pleasant" externals of the world and builds his life around that. Roark wants to achieve his own goals and values according to his own standards. These are incompatible goals.
