Seneca - Moral Letters - 10: On Living to Oneself

This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

Thank you for uploading

The beginning of this letter reminds me of unstable people who snap and go on a shooting spree, leaving people who knew them hurt and confused saying something like, “I don’t know why he did that. He was always so normal.” While strangers look on and say, “He was just crazy,” not wanting to understand the violent person for fear they might agree with him and become like him. Preferring instead to distance themselves from any such thinking that might tempt them to immoral action.

TL;DW version: Make a habit of being a good person even when no one is watching, and you’ll never have to worry about your private moments.

This is a good diagnosis of the condition of a lot of people on lockdown right now lmao, we've seen spikes in all kinds of domestic issues.. "The fool, in solitude, only heaps up future danger for himself. For the habit of trusting oneself, and fearing no enemies, is lost on the fool. He betrays himself"

Solitude caused by alienation is regard as seclusion by some.

I absolutely love your work on Seneca, keep it up! You should work at Audible, you're much better than some of the other guys.

[@VoxStoica]

Thanks, I'll keep doing one a week for now. Might be fun to roll them up into a single file and submit it to Audible if I ever finish them.
