Indeed. Another one of my favorite quotes from Seneca is
Excellent quote. I like how he used the words little and chiefly, some philosophers tend to be too exclusive about their veiw and use words like none and only.
I do like Seneca. He is less pendantic than Epictetus and in some ways more applicable than Aurelius. Of course, the former was a teacher and the latter wrote for himself whereas Seneca wrote letters to others in which he gives advice.
Thanks for the description. I've just bumped into this post about stoicism, I guess that it could interest you. Cheers!
I read the article and it was interesting although there were several issues or potential issues with it.
I'm glad you found it interesting, I see that you also commented on it.
