Reasoning!
Pg.21
Seneca asks us : to use philosophy to guard our living.
Philosophy enables wisdom
And wisdom enables reasoning.
Now the key question is
Whether living with reason alone is a safe harbour from Fortune or Ill-luck?
Seneca answers this in his letter to Lucillius
“Sometimes a vessel perishes at the Harbour;
Innocent people perish”
Who would deny that?
But the vessel perishes more frequently in the open sea;
The person who does not act with reason perishes more frequently! “
But still I need to continue working with reasoning;
By continuing to work on my brain every day
Acting with reason is in my power!
Fortune decides the outcome!
