<u>Answer:</u>

According to Epicurus people need to have faith on themselves and avoid distrust or distress of sin, people need to focus on "karma" to be happy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Epicurus argued that people would better practice religion by leading a life of self-sufficiency surrounded by friends. He explained that the source of all human neurosis is fear of death and a propensity for individuals to believe that death is going to be horrible and painful, which he believed causes massive distress, self-protective behaviors and hypocrisy.

The aim of philosophy for Epicurus has been to help individuals achieve a happy, peaceful life represented by ataraxia (peace and freedom from fear) and aponia (painlessness). He explained that humans behave ethically not because gods threaten or honor people for their beliefs, but because amoral behavior would stress them with shame and discourage them from achieving ataraxia.
