Fool

 A Fool is always getting ready to live - Epicurus

Seneca - Letters from a Stoic - Pg 18

Fool's thought : 

I will be happy when

-I have so much money

-I have attained such and such position

- I gain so much fame

-I possess such a car

- I possess such a big house

-I have xxxx

-I have yyyy

that list goes on and on and on...

If you are a (wo)man of wisdom,,,this moment is

everything...

How do i spend this moment, this hour, this day ...

is everything!

Seneca Says : " Fool's life is empty of gratitude and

full of ears; its whole course lies towards the future"

A man of gratitude - would live in the present -

full of gratitude and no fears - fear of want,

fear of sickness, fear of the stronger;

Seneca continues : conquer the fear of want by

- wanting nothing

-being content

-not counting the luck
