Seneca: Of Consolation to Marcia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- Marcia actively mourned the death of her son Metilius for over three years. In his consolation, Seneca attempts to convince her that the fate of her son, while tragic, should not have been a surprise. She knew many other mothers who had lost their sons; why should she expect her own son to survive her? The acknowledgement, even expectation, of the worst of all possible outcomes is a tenet of Seneca's Stoic philosophy. While Seneca sympathised with Marcia, he reminded her that "we are born into a world of things which are all destined to die," and that if she could accept that no one is guaranteed a just life (that is, one in which sons always outlive their mothers), she could finally end her mourning and live the rest of her life in peace.

Once again Vox, thank you. I have probably spend at least 15 hours listening to your audio books. SO much value for free!
You're very welcome, I'm glad you're getting value from them :)
@@VoxStoica why do you record them for free?
@@judasseispuertos4163 He's not just recording some texts, he's teaching stoicism by example.
oh how i love listening to you Vox Stoica.
can't stand listening to other philosophers' dubber.
you have such a great gift.
i'm envious.
I wish I had shared this letter of consolation that speaks to the reason within us, with my mother in law. She mourned the loss of her 38 year old daughter and her grief never seemed to dull. She grieved deeply for 17 years until her passing in 2014.
Once i found this channel. Only channel i stay on literally WHEN I'm on my 📱
Thank you so much for all you do.
Have you ever thought about voicing any of Zeno’s works?
Dear Vox, I've just discovered your channel and am most grateful. I am (rather poorly) attempting to practice the Obstacle is the Way, as, at the moment, I traverse difficulty. I thank Nature for your emanation 🙏 ☺
Really enjoy your audiobooks and have drawn a lot of inspiration and lessons from the lessons of the stoics. I thoroughly enjoy your narration/reading of them! I hope you're doing all right and have not given up, considering it's been a while since your last upload.
Thank you Vox!!!!
Thank you for your reading again!
Hope all is well with you and that you have a good time over the festive season.
Please read the dialogues of Epictetus. Your narration is wonderful and I’d love to hear them. You’ve done the Enchiridion already which was enlightening, please read his other dialogues!
He did. ruclips.net/video/vdbrjVyO0Dk/видео.html
Time stamp: 29:40; “For at his birth he was told that death was his doom. It is the law under which we are born, the fate which has pursued him ever since he left his mother’s womb. We have come under the dominion of Fortune (chance). A harsh and unconquerable dominion it is, at her caprice we must suffer all things, whether we deserve them or not.”

1:21:46... the right to die..
Why Seneca is often seen with a ruby ring ? In "Quo Vadis 1951" and in the painting "The suicide of Seneca" by Manuel Domínguez Sánchez Seneca can be seen with this king of ring.
It's probably garnet, often used for seal rings in Rome.
Vox stoica, vox dei.
haha very good.
@@VoxStoica Keep up the great work!
