Today's Meditation(s):

Letters on Ethics by Seneca, LXXVII.18 (Graver)

Am I alive?

Now? Yes. I'm doing philosophy!

Often? No. I'm an automaton plodding through my paces, up the hill and down again every day. I tolerate the circumstances as they are not yet intolerable, though nothing but lucre comes my way because of it.
