So Mom was plunged back into his old readings ... Seneca or practical philosophy ... too often when we pronounce the word philosophy, your interlocutor, frowns, sighs, eyes widen ... philosophy, philosophy ... abstract reflections that are lost in overly complex reasoning ... To get where ???? I ask you ???
Well stop to all this .... For septic ... Read Seneca!
Have a question? a doubt? It has simple answers, clear ... if so .... Practice !!! Philosophy that helps you, accompanies you in your daily life.
Go a few examples:
"The wicked can give nothing to the wise as it should before giving it owns, or has nothing that the wise would be happy to see the wicked go to him." Your colleague get on your nerves by his scheming, his insatiable thirst for liability to you to argue ... that wicked smile owns nothing that you would ...
because "Virtue is free, inviolable, motionless, steadfast, hardened against the hazards they can not even bend" for all that is mine is with me ""
You neighbors, your relatives, your clients seem to have concerted to darken your days .... Take height Seneca says "if I suffered an injustice, it is necessary that it was committed but whether it is committed, it is not necessary that I suffer "
Seneca invites us to become seekers of wisdom ... Needless to say that the road can be steep, difficult ... ... sometimes unbearable inhumane (I write knowingly) ... But precisely, it better to move forward on this path it as any other.
Seneca reminds us:
"We look at a complacent look what happens in us and always indulgence interferes with judgment. Many people, I think could have reached wisdom, if they had thought they were there managed. "
No need to make large research efforts to find thousands of examples that illustrate so vividly that maxim, No?
Petit Opus everything to everyone should read regularly ... To make things better ... if we ask the -t question before taking a shower if necessary ??? Of course not !!! Hence the strange idea that the hygiene of the spirit, the soul would be less vital than body hygiene ????
Enjoy your reading ... and good road :)
Small PS for fun:
"When you think how rare rectitude, probity unknown; When considering the complete lack of loyalty (...) of debauchery to the ambition out of his own limitations going until you find the shine in infamy, then the soul leaves sink into the night. " VERY VERY CURRENT NO?
Seneca admits to conclude that in all humility: "... none of these means is quite powerful if we still care to surround attentive and vigilant souls always ready to stumble"
