210816 What I learned in my studies this morning

Some days, thoughts are lean.
Uneven thinking happens
When the mind muddles. 

Daily Stoic:


The obstacle is the way.  If I live in accordance with nature, and allow my reason to guide my actions, I can adapt to circumstances as they develop. Adapt and overcome. 

Today's Meditation:


From Letters from a Stoic by Seneca, Letter LV:

This short letter spends a lot of time mocking a rich man who didn't accomplish much in life, but was famous for his life in retirement. 

The first point of import is that only philosophy offers knowledge of how to live. 



Seneca end his message with an exhortation for Lucilius to think of friendship as a continual connection, even when the friends are separated by distance or time.
