"Of him that brought me up, not to be fondly addicted to either of the two great factions of the coursers in the circus, called Prasini, and Veneti: nor in the amphitheatre partially to favour any of the gladiators, or fencers, as either the Parmularii, or the Secutores. Moreover, to endure labour; nor to need many things; when I have anything to do, to do it myself rather than by others; not to meddle with many businesses; and not easily to admit of any slander."

Today we're diving into letter #69 of Seneca's letters to Lucilius, which begins:"I do not like you to change your headquarters and scurry about from one place to another. My reasons are, – first, that such frequent flitting means an unsteady spirit. And the spirit cannot through retirement grow into unity unless it has ceased from its inquisitiveness and its wanderings. To be able to hold your spirit in check, you must first stop the runaway flight of the body."You can find the full text of letter #69 here: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_letters_to_Lucilius/Letter_69--Get rid of ads and support our work : https://link.stoicismpod.com/membersHang out with us in our free listener community: https://link.stoicismpod.com/discordJoin our daily Stoic journaling program : https://link.stoicismpod.com/journalingJoin our Stoic mentoring community : https://link.stoicismpod.com/path --View a list of our sponsors : https://link.stoicismpod.com/sponsors--Visit our website : https://stoicismpod.comCheck out our reading list : https://stoicismpod.com/suggested-readingRead our articles : https://stoicismpod.com/category/articles--Online copy of Meditations (Long) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/meditations-longOnline copy of Meditations (Casaubon) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/meditations-casaubonOnline copy of Seneca's Letters : https://link.stoicismpod.com/letters-- Learn more about your ad choices.
