"It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste much of it."

Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, usually known mononymously as Seneca, was a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome, a statesman, dramatist, and in one work, satirist, from the post-Augustan age of Latin literature.

Born: Córdoba, Spain

Died: 65 AD, Rome, Italy

Philosopher and Stoic: Seneca was a leading figure in the Stoic school of philosophy. His philosophical works, such as the letters to his friend Lucilius (known as "Letters from a Stoic" or "Seneca's Letters"), focus on themes like virtue, self-discipline, and facing adversity with equanimity.

Tutor to Emperor Nero: Seneca served as a tutor and advisor to the young Nero, who later became the Emperor of Rome. Seneca's influence on Nero's early reign was significant, and he played a key role in shaping Nero's policies and decisions.

Political Career: Seneca had a successful political career, serving as a senator and holding various administrative roles during the reign of Emperor Nero. However, his relationship with Nero eventually soured, leading to Seneca's forced suicide in 65 AD after being accused of conspiracy.

Tragedies and Literary Works: Seneca wrote several tragedies that are notable for their intense emotions and focus on themes of fate and morality. Some of his well-known tragedies include "Phaedra" and "Thyestes." His literary works had a significant impact on later Renaissance drama.

Stoic Principles in Adversity: Seneca practiced what he preached, especially when facing adversity. When ordered by Nero to take his own life (a common punishment for perceived conspiracies), Seneca faced his death with Stoic calmness, famously instructing his friends and family on how to meet such an end with dignity.

Seneca's life and writings continue to be studied for their insights into Stoicism and the challenges of living a virtuous life in the face of political and personal difficulties.

Henry David Thoreau Quote – But men labor under a mistake. The better part of the man is soon… Typography Art Print – Walden – Economy

But men labor under a mistake. The better part of the man is soon plowed into the soil for compost. By a seeming fate, commonly called necessity, they are employed, as it says in an old book, laying up treasures which moth and rust will corrupt and thieves break through and steal. It is a fool’s life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before. … Most men, even in this comparatively free country, through mere ignorance and mistake, are so occupied with the factitious cares and superfluously coarse labors of life that its finer fruits cannot be plucked by them. – Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Use your time wisely and don't waste it on trivial matters. Time is one resource that you can't replace, yet we tend to worry more about saving and protecting a dollar more than we do a wasted minute.

On Knowledge

Do the Colours Make the Rainbow?: Knowledge as impropriated fragments of universal absolutes and mathematics as atomic truths

If knowledge is based on a truth, and truth (as we "know" it) is defined as being a universal absolute that we can reach and/or experience through our limited senses and neurocognitive capabilities, then our understanding truth is ultimately limited to how much we can possibly perceive and hence interpret it. The moment an individual reaches a truth, they absorb it, complete it with their apriori, and make it "theirs". This sense of posessiveness is where belief is formed, because it is based on the personalisation of a universal absolute. One person's knowledge of a truth, while based on the same universal absolute, cannot be the same as anybody else's simply because it passes through the filter of their minds as they have been formed with the unique combinations of synaptic nervous tissue. One could debate that there are such simple, undividable atoms of truth that they cannot be fragmented to a smaller piece to be corrupted with the individuality of other people. Perhaps we already found it through mathematics.

My contribution to the discussion of what knowledge is, what it could be, and how much we can have it.

Even then one could debate that the labels we have assigned to things and the concepts of things, be it mathematics of logic and language, can convey only a sliver of the truth that is trying to be captured. By assigning the noun "pen" to a pen, we have chosen one possibility out of the nigh infinite possible combinations of letters that can form logically sensible morphemes. If the infinite potentiality of an object is not captured, can one say that we have truly defined that object?
