Seneca - Moral Letters - 90: On the Part Played by Philosophy in the Progress of Man

This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

Notes:
“For men cease to possess all things the moment they desire all things for their own”.
“For them ruling was a service, not an exercise of royalty”
“A thatched roof once covered free men; under marble and gold dwells slavery.”
“it is we that have made everything difficult for ourselves, through our disdain for what is easy”
“it has now come to this - that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.”
“In these days, however, our houses constitute a large portion of our dread”
“For nature does not bestow virtue; it is an art to become good.”

Eagerly waiting for discourses. Great work!

Can you branch out to the orbiting thinkers like Plato and Sextus Empiricus the Sceptic. Your voice suits all these eritings and nobody else seems to have made a listenable audio version for either.. I would be so indebted to you! Thanks for all your work
