Betake yours to Philosophy - to live by foresight than impulse
Seneca - Letters from a Stoic
Seneca says :
If you want to be safe, untroubled, happy ,fine and most importantly free, undertake philosophy -
What is philosophy ?
Philosophy is a life led by design, forethought and conduct.
you may be called effeminate, lacking courage, strength , whatever - forever living with ideas of philosophy - but do not get deceived!
Wisdom is language of God - to live aligned with "HIM" , NATURE
it is the only steady path -
for life out of sync with Philosophy - is purely a life of impulse -
Philosophy is a life of forethought and design
Philosophy helps you march ahead even if slowly
A life lived otherwise - is not moving forwards - rather - you are caught in a whirlpool of events - like the driftwood in the stream - being sloshed and tossed -hither and thither
and you end up asking yourself -
"how did i get into this situation? "
Oh Man! , I know the Answer : you relied more on Impulse, Instinct and melodrama(reaction )rather than Wisdom, Forethought and Response
A life need to lived by design rather than default
