    Chapter 1: Of A Happy Life

    Today, we read chapter 1 of, Of A Happy Life, by Seneca the Younger. “Now nothing gets us into greater troubles than our subservience to common rumour, and our habit of thinking that those things are best which are most generally received as such, of taking many counterfeits for truly good things, and of living not by reason but by imitation of others.” Help support us on Patreon.

    Chapter 2: Of A Happy Life

    Today, we read chapter 2 of, Of A Happy Life, by Seneca the Younger. “By 'the vulgar' I mean both those who wear woollen cloaks and those who wear crowns; for I do not regard the colour of the clothes with which they are covered: I do not trust my eyes to tell me what a man is: I have a better and more trustworthy light by which I can distinguish what is true from what is false: let the mind find out what is good for the mind.” Help support us on Patreon.

    Chapter 9 - Of A Happy Life

    Today, we read chapter 9 of, Of A Happy Life, by Seneca the Younger. “Do you ask what I seek from virtue? I answer, Herself: for she has nothing better; she is her own reward. Does this not appear great enough, when I tell you that the highest good is an unyielding strength of mind, wisdom, magnanimity, sound judgment, freedom, harmony, beauty? Do you still ask me for something greater, of which these may be regarded as the attributes? Why do you talk of pleasures to me? I am seeking to find what is good for man, not for his belly; why, cattle and whales have larger ones than he.” Help support us on Patreon.
