Today's Meditation(s):

Letters on Ethics by Seneca, LXXXII.3 (Graver)

Mere existence is not enough. Dissolution is too much.

If I'm going to not 'have anything to do,' it's all too likely my mind will wander to my troubles and will fret over things unworthy of my worry.

But, if I have something to feed my mind, something to make me think and wonder, then I have both a solution to this dissipation and a tool to make myself better.

Ebooks are a godsend. I can read my philosophy anywhere I have my phone or an internet connection. Yes, I like and have all the same books in physical form, but I don't carry my physical library with me. It's too heavy.
