Power of Philosophy is to blunt the blows of Chance!
pg.78 : Letters from a Stoic - Seneca
My Notes:
I am living a life of Chance -Luck- Fortune!
God, Nature and Universe have been kind to me!
I should be grateful and thankful for that!
I should not be carried away that : it is due to "me" and "myself" alone all success reached to me!
Let me quote a real-life instance here :
In Dec'20 and Jan'21 , I landed up in sever back pain ;
What started as a minor niggle in the lower-back,
soon become so worse that I was unable to stretch my legs out !
Despite a few treatments , things did not improve
and I was mentally disturbed!
The issue on-hand was nothing close to major - but it made me realize
how a minor niggle can disturb me
and made me realize -
How I need to be more grateful for all types of wealth - physical, mental, financial, emotional
How much do I owe to this World that has bestowed so much upon me?
How much Luck has played a role in all this!
And how I need to be more grateful and content
Rather than praying for more and more!
