"We do not receive a short life, but we make it a short one. We are not poor in days, but wasteful in them."

I don’t think I am ready for Seneca. Unlike the other Stoics I’ve read, his sentences and thoughts run long and windy, they fee less practical and are more entwined with his present day, instead of being more generic teachings.
