Gen Z has a problem making friends. A recent report showed 52% of us have not made a friend in the past year. What used to be hearty conversations and true memories have turned into toxic friendships and a warped view of what a friend means to this generation. That is why today's reading is so important.
Seneca also had to deal with fake friends, backstabbers, and immoral people. When he needed someone to write to in exile, it was because of his strong bonds with fellow citizens like Lucilius that he found a necessary outlet, and as a result the teachings of Seneca have lived on for centuries.
Tune in to this week's reading to hear how Seneca differentiated real from fake, judged his friends like he would himself, and ultimately built strong friendships that have lasted the test of time (something we all could use).
