All cruelty springs from weakness.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, was a Roman naturalist, philosopher, politician, playwright, and as a Stoic one of the most popular writers of his time. The speeches that had made him famous were lost. Although he recommended restraint and renunciation in his philosophical texts, he was one of the most powerful and richest men of his time. From the year 49, he worked as an educator and advisor to the later emperor Nero. Probably to prepare Nero for his future duties, he wrote a text on how wise it would be for a ruler to be lenient.
In the year 55 Seneca took up a political office, but it brought him difficulties. His political actions were in part contrary to the principles he had advocated in his writings. This brought him some criticism from his contemporaries.

Alle Grausamkeit entspringt der Schwäche.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, war ein römischer Naturforscher, Philosoph, Politiker, Dramatiker, und als Stoiker ein der beliebter Schriftsteller seiner Zeit. Die Reden, die ihm Bekanntheit verschafft hatten, gingen verloren. Obwohl er in seinen philosophischen Texten Zurückhaltung und Verzicht empfahl, gehörte er zu den mächtigsten und reichsten Männern seiner Zeit. Ab dem Jahr 49 betätigte er sich als Erzieher und Berater des späteren Kaisers Nero. Vermutlich, um Nero auf seine künftigen Aufgaben vorzubereiten, verfasste er einen Text darüber, wie weise es für einen Herrscher sei, Milde walten zu lassen.
Im Jahre 55 trat Seneca ein politisches Amt an, welches ihm jedoch Schwierigkeiten einbrachte. Sein politisches Agieren stand teils im Widerspruch zu den Grundsätzen, welche er in seinen Schriften vertreten hatte. Dies brachte ihm bei Zeitgenossen einiges an Kritik ein.
