reading his essays are usually enjoyable for me, though some are a bit long winded. he has similar thoughts and feelings that i have towards life, so it's cool that i can connect with someone that lived 2000 years ago. he's writing these essays to help his friends with their struggles in life (even though they're likely fake people), so it's kind of like he's my friend, and giving me direct life advice. yet i don't think i've seen any posts on him. what's the deal? are you going to tell me i'm a retard midwit for consuming his books?

>>24946568Love the letters, feels like listening to a wise grandpa that is well aware that he is far from perfect, my favorite quote of him is: "What is wisdom? Always desiring the same things, and always refusing the same things"
Seneca? More like Schizophreneca
>>24946568They're a bit midwit because they deal more with fairly practical, unabstracted matters rather than engaging with more demanding fundmental philosophical concepts, and that tends to attract the grindset self-improvement types that dont think too much, but honestly who cares? theyre great meaningful works.
