Hi Massimo. Thank you for this new newsletter. The fig example is perhaps linked to the biblical episode of the cursing of the fig tree? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursing_of_the_fig_tree
Ivo, actually the two episodes are independent, as far as I can tell. I wrote about the comparison here: https://medium.com/stoicism-philosophy-as-a-way-of-life/epictetus-vs-jesus-on-figs-the-difference-between-philosophy-and-religion-3f47939375d1
Thank you for the link. I vaguely remembered that I had read a comparison, but I wasn't sure ;-)
