Chapter 9 - Of A Happy Life

Today, we read chapter 9 of, Of A Happy Life [https://books.apple.com/us/book/dialogues/id1176319286], by Seneca the Younger [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_the_Younger]. “Do you ask what I seek from virtue? I answer, Herself: for she has nothing better; she is her own reward. Does this not appear great enough, when I tell you that the highest good is an unyielding strength of mind, wisdom, magnanimity, sound judgment, freedom, harmony, beauty? Do you still ask me for something greater, of which these may be regarded as the attributes? Why do you talk of pleasures to me? I am seeking to find what is good for man, not for his belly; why, cattle and whales have larger ones than he.” Help support us on Patreon [https://patreon.com/TheConfusedIdealist].
