Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.
Epicurus
Image
The term incorporeal is properly applied only to the void, which cannot act or be acted on. Since the soul can act and be acted upon, it is corporeal.
