A review by jerryx29
Von der Kürze des Lebens by Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Uhh yeah, I don't know how to rate this.
Challenging read, which is good every now and then. Plenty of poignant metaphors and thought-provoking ideas. But also, sometimes Seneca writes such confusing things and goes off on these trains of thoughts that have nothing to do with the actual topic. Most annoyingly though, many things just did not make any sense to me and were even contradictory sometimes.
Maybe just reading it once, and as a young person with relatively limited experience, is just not enough to really get it.
