► Tao Of Seneca Letter 5 - On The Philosopher's Mean ◄

"I commend you and rejoice in the fact that you are persistent in your studies, and that, putting all else aside, you make it each day your endeavour to become a better man.

I do not merely exhort you to keep at it; I actually beg you to do so. I warn you, however, not to act after the fashion of those who desire to be conspicuous rather than to improve, by doing things which will rouse comment as regards your dress or general way of living.

Repellent attire, unkempt hair, slovenly beard, open scorn of silver dishes, a couch on the bare earth, and any other perverted forms of self-display, are to be avoided.

The mere name of philosophy, however quietly pursued, is an object of sufficient scorn; and what would happen if we should begin to separate ourselves from the customs of our fellow-men?

Inwardly, we ought to be different in all respects, but our exterior should conform to society.

Do not wear too fine, nor yet too frowzy, a toga. One needs no silver plate, encrusted and embossed in solid gold; but we should not believe the lack of silver and gold to be proof of the simple life."

This is letter 5 from Lucilius, and, in that letter, it talks about thinking.

This is such a wonderful letter because it gets in touch with something we've been distancing ourselves from: thinking.

The Stoics are such wise people and we can learn a lot from them.

In this video, we will discuss letter 5 and what we can learn from it and apply it to our today's world.
