On The Shortness of Life - Seneca (book) (15mins) (pg1-6)
- Most human beings complain about the meanness of nature, because we are born for a brief span of life, and because this spell of time that has been given to us rushes by so swiftly and rapidly that with very few exceptions life ceases for the rest of us just when we are getting ready for it.
- It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
- Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is wasted in heedless luxury and spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death's final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we knew it was passing.
- So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it.
- It is a small part of life we really live. Indeed, all the rest is not life but merely time
- Never can they recover their true selves. If by chance they achieve some tranquility, just as a swell remains on the deep sea even after the wind has dropped, so they go on tossing about and never find rest from their desires.
- they complain about the pride of their superiors because they did not have time to give them an audience when they wanted one. But can anyone dare to complain about another's pride when he himself never has time for himself?
- People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it come to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing which it is right to be stingy.
- You are living as if destined to live for ever; your own frailty never occurs to you; you squander it as though you had a full and overflowing supply - though all the while that very day which you are devoting to somebody or something may be your last
- You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire.
- How late it is to begin really to live just when life must end!
