Seneca: "Putting things off is the biggest waste of life. It snatches away each day as it comes and denies us the present by promising the future."

Can Stoicism answer our dilemma?

Compare Seneca’s On the Shortness of Life with the Zhuangzi in this reflection on Stoicism vs. Daoism. Learn how Cincinnatus’s Roman Plow creates a utilitarian trap. Oh, and how The Expendables does, too.

People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.

— Seneca

#Stoic #Stoicism #Seneca

Cuando hay un cargo de conciencia, algo nos puede dar tranquilidad, pero nada nos dará seguridad, pues quien es culpable piensa todo el tiempo que puede ser capturado, aunque nunca ocurra; no tiene descanso cuando duerme, y cuando habla de los crímenes de otro, piensa en los suyos

Seneca, Cartas a lucilio
