On The Shortness of Life - Seneca (book) (15mins) (pg7-14)
- Assuredly your lives, even if they last more than a thousand years, will shrink into the tiniest span: those vices will swallow up any space of time. The actual time you have - which reason can prolong though it naturally passes quickly - inevitably escapes you rapidly: for you do not grasp it or hold it back or try to delay that swiftest of all things, but you let it slip away as though it were something superfluous and replaceable.
-But among the worst offenders I count those who spend all their time in drinking and lust, for these are the worst of preoccupations of all.
-No activity can be successfully pursued by an individual who is preoccupied - not rhetoric or liberal studies - since the mind when distracted absorbs nothing deeply, but rejects everything which is, so to speak, crammed into it. Living is the least important activity of the preoccupied man; yet there is nothing which is harder to learn.
-Learning how to live takes a whole life, and, which may surprise you more, it takes a whole life to learn how to die.
