Timeless truths. Seneca captured many of these in his work On the Shortness of Life.Unfortunately, while his concepts are timeless, Seneca wrote them in Latin over 2,000 years ago. Even with English translations, much like Shakespeare, the words and phrasing can be difficult to follow.This work attempts to overcome these linguistic difficulties by presenting the concepts and truths of Seneca in a way relatable to the modern reader. After all, Seneca never got stuck in a drive-thru waiting for his morning latte.The words in this work are new – but the ideas, concepts, and truths stretch back 2,000 years. If you want to go to the source, you can download or order Seneca’s original version. In fact, I encourage you to do so. However, if you find yourself getting bogged down in ancient references, or confused by strange phrasing – give this work a try. The concepts are valuable, and the wisdom you gain will be priceless.
