Seneca, the renowned Roman Stoic philosopher and dramatist, shares profound insights on embracing mortality and conquering fear. He delves into how our dread often arises not from death itself, but from our anticipation of it. Through vivid reflections on aging, he illustrates the resilience of the mind against the frailty of the body. Seneca also encourages listeners to reassess their relationship with death, advocating for courage and tranquility as essential tools for a meaningful life.
