We're losing the hatch. Talking about Séneca, albeit briefly, and missing the opportunity to bring one of his great lessons, an idea that has accompanied me all my life, at least since I read it – I really read it to DM, but now I know it’s Séneca’s. Contrary to the majority opinion, according to which life is short and life passes before fast: “We don’t have a short time, we lose it too much, we do.” That is, life is quite long, enough and far enough to carry out the greatest tasks, if everything is handled and done well. He says in his book about the brevity of life: “We don’t take a short life, we do it briefly.” When it is released in luxury and in pottery, when it is not used for the good… “with the last inevitable hour, we feel that the life to which we do not look has gone.” The greatest disadvantage of life would therefore be the hope that the next day the current one will be lost – it seems that the Basques know us: “They lose their day in hope of the night and night in fear of the day.” But he who spends all the tenor for his own benefit, on the contrary, he who organizes days one by one as his last, “is not afraid of the future, does not yearn”. Another thing is whether this is easy to do, or directly impossible.
Life is learned throughout life, says Seneka, and throughout life you also learn how to die. Let's focus on the first one, because the philosopher from Córdoba seems like a clue about it. Baga: “It is a happy life, therefore, according to nature.” Biga: “We can call happy people who rightly fear nothing.” And fig. “Happiness is a direct opinion; happiness is what is satisfied with the present, whatever its nature, which is the friend of its things; happiness is what leaves the whole organization of its things in mind.” I drink.
