Seneca - Moral Letters - 77: On Taking One's Own Life

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)

Always great stuff. Thanks for all your work.

[@markcrounse9919]

“You are afraid to die, but are you alive now?” THAT IS THE QUESTION to reflect upon. What exactly does being alive mean? Think about it.

I love you Seneca I wish I could meet you and hug you so tight ❤️

If that had been me, I probably would have just ended up with a broken nose. Ha!

Anyone know when this guy's dropping letter 78?

[@VoxStoica]

Hi, it'll be up on Wednesday

[@Human_Evolution-]

Quick question. Why are you using a picture of a Hesiod sculpture as if it was Seneca? There is only one ancient bust of Seneca.

[@VoxStoica]

Do you mean on the thumbnail or in the video? To my knowledge both are artists imaginary portraits of Seneca

[@Human_Evolution-]

@@VoxStoica The video image is what I noticed. It's an image of the psuedo Seneca or a replica of it. See this for more info. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-Seneca

[@VoxStoica]

@@Human_Evolution- Sorry just noticed your reply (the link caused YT to put it in spam) That's a different statue. It probably inspired many later artists' impressions but since there aren't really any good images of Seneca I went with an artist's impression. Here's the provenance of the one I used: bit.ly/2yskxop

[@DanyIsDeadChannel313]

Because this whole channel is PSEUDO INTELLECTUAL. This guy does great narrations and has made it chunks and quotable. But he is just a dumbass narrator for not knowing that is not Seneca

[@ThoughTObjecTMusic]

@@DanyIsDeadChannel313 a mouthful of words coming from a nobody.
