Letter 80: On Worldly Deceptions

  • Résumé

  • Seneca starts by expressing gratitude for a moment of solitude, acknowledging that this quiet time is not a result of his own efforts but rather the distraction caused by games and boxing matches. During this break, he takes the opportunity to reflect on deeper matters without any interruptions. The philosopher highlights the stark contrast between people's dedication to training their bodies, as seen in athletic events, and the neglect of mental training. While athletes rigorously prepare themselves physically, very few invest a similar level of effort in strengthening their minds. Seneca questions why the mind, which is capable of enduring far more than the body, is often left untrained. Seneca poses a thought-provoking question: if the body can withstand physical blows and harsh conditions, why not toughen the mind to withstand life's challenges? While the body requires external resources such as food, drink, and training, the mind has the capacity to grow from within. Virtue, resilience, and mental fortitude all lie within us, waiting to be cultivated. In an inspiring message, Seneca encourages readers to liberate themselves from mental enslavement.
