▪️𝘿𝙚 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙑𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙚 - 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚: This deals with time and life, Seneca says that most people simply exist, they don't live, they waste their time and when old age/death comes they are shocked because they haven't lived yet. And that's why death scares most of us because we haven't lived, but just wasted our time on pointless persuits.

I think i kind of agree with all these points, we are too busy worrying about stuff, wasting our time and not actually living.

▪️𝘿𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙞 - 𝙊𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 :
Addressed to his friend Serenus, Seneca talks about various issues regarding anxiety, stress and worry. Seneca gives various examples from history and explains how one should learn to be happy and content despite fortune's wrath. And that one should always remember it's all temporary and things can change anytime.

In the end he talks about how it's normal to be a little disturbed and i am literally thankful for these lines, while reading i was going through something... And honestly found a great comfort in these lines:
