"On the Shortness of Life" is an essay by the Stoic philosopher Seneca. It offers a profound meditation on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of using our time wisely. Seneca criticizes those who waste their time on frivolities or trivial pursuits that contribute neither to their well-being nor their wisdom. Instead, he encourages his readers to devote themselves to learning and philosophical reflection to lead a full and meaningful life.

This is a brief yet powerful text that prompts reflection on how we choose to live our lives and the urgency of living fully and consciously. If this resonates with you, or if you're simply curious to dive deeper into Stoic thought, I think you’ll find this read enriching.
