250329 What I learned in my studies this morning 5*

Today's Meditation(s):

Letters on Ethics by Seneca, LXXVIII.28 (Graver)


Premeditatio malorum. Again. Perhaps it's important? Perhaps Seneca wasn't just a poor philosopher, repeating himself and repeating himself?

I know the shock and involuntary inaction of encountering the worst. I know how it can leave me incapable of most anything.

I also know that I don't fall into that pit nearly as readily if I've considered my options before and roughed out a plan of what to do in such a crisis.

Who knew 2000 year old advice works?
