Why would Epicurean philosophy be unfortunate?

I was under the impression that there was almost nothing left of that school of thought, and that it’s writings had been destroyed.

What would you like to have instead?

The unfortunate part is the lack of anything else therein, not that it's Epicurean philosophy.

History! That's what intrigues me the most: texts with accounts of events that have otherwise vanished from the historical record.
