The last part really hit a nice note with me. Mold and fashion your kingship with thy God, will not be done with such materials as gold and silver but that of clay. Paraphrase abit there, very beautiful words with a beautiful message. Maybe hints of Christian gnostic elements there but this is all relative to the time seems you can always go back deeper and further in history which give your current life so much more depth and beauty.

I think Christianity has aspects of stoicism rather, christianity was shaped by the western roman empire, original sin and judgement and the second coming do not come from Jesus, but from Paul and Other Roman Nobels who were tasked with governing those parts of the empire

"work is the sustenance of noble minds"...Seneca's message to youth that does not work :)

You know when he talks about the spirit which Insights you to uphill struggle being kinda abstracted and eternal, so that you're cultivating the same spirit whether on the battlefield or going for a jog or doing a big pile of paperwork, the spirit itself isnt contained in the circumstance but it's kinda in some overarching Soul that's available to everyone if they step up and take on these burdens.. It reminds me a lot of the things David Goggins says.. The only difference is Goggins doesnt care about how sophisticated his arguments are.. But to me that's basically his message

Happiness can be archived by focusing on what we can control

I struggle towards honorable things as much as I can. But today I made the likes number 69 so I will try being honorable tomorrow.
