If you only read one epistle, make it this one:Therefore, Lucilius, do as you write me that you are doing: hold every hour in your grasp. Lay hold of to-day's task, and you will not need to depend so much upon to-morrow's. While we are postponing, life speeds by. Nothing, Lucilius, is ours, except time. We were entrusted by nature with the ownership of this single thing, so fleeting and slippery that anyone who will can oust us from possession. What fools these mortals be! They allow the cheapest and most useless things, which can easily be replaced, to be charged in the reckoning, after they have acquired them; but they never regard themselves as in debt when they have received some of that precious commodity, - time! And yet time is the one loan which even a grateful recipient cannot repay.
Yes. There's nothing we encourage more than for authors to link their own work (well, except may to just write it here in the first place!), especially if the author is a contributing member of the community who is willing to engage about their writing. Edit: I had only read the title when I responded, and I assumed that given your username that this was your work. Anyway, it's still good, and continue to post whatever you feel is worth sharing or talking about.
Hi Seneca If you find something that interests you, definitely share it. To enhance your post and invite discussion, you might pick one of the epistles like On the reason for withdrawing for the world - and say that you find it relevant to your life, particularly because of the booty problem. Then quote: Let there be as little booty as possible on your person.
You might tell us something as well (some of us are 14 years old) - something like "Seneca" was writing in first century (Do I have the right Seneca?).
