Status Updates From Letters from a Stoic

"Aquello mismo que nos hizo pesada la pobreza nos hace las riquezas pesadas. Así como es indiferente que coloques a un enfermo en un lecho de madera o de oro, pues dondequiera que lo pongas trasladará consigo la dolencia, así no tiene importancia alguna que un alma enferma se la sitúe en la riqueza o en la pobreza: su enfermedad la sigue."

So far incredible. Lucius Seneca is genuinely so wise. I wish to have a fraction of his wisdom one day, and to have a mentor of his calibre.

Longer book, 500 odd pages. Not bad, but will take me some time. Not an issue.

Up to letter 6, and i’m very happy so far.

- Every person, without exception has someone to whom he confides everything that is confided to himself
- Whatever happens was bound to happen
- One can do nothing better than endure what cannot be cured
- Everything we shall suffer is a strand
- Let me indicate here how men can prove that their words are their own. Let them put their preaching into practice
