Today's Meditation(s):

Seneca: On Tranquility of Mind 2.4 (Stewart)

The goal is tranquility of mind, according to Seneca.

So it's not the new car. Or the house. Or the dinner out. Or the new shirt. Or the new game. Or the attention and fame. Or the 'on sale mega pack' of powerups for that game that sucks too much time.

Nothing thingy about it. So what does Seneca say about achieving this mythical state? Philosophy.

Do not want too much. Choose good friends. Curb appetites and passions.  Find balance. Follow Nature.
