Happiness in Loss

No good thing renders its possessor happy, unless his mind is reconciled to the possibility of loss

Seneca

Letters from a Stoic

Forune indulges me
and the same fortune can threaten me
Like a calm sea turning into Tsunami
so I need to reconcile my mind to the possibility of loss;

yes that is the sole way to happiness!
so toughen the spirit that is ready to face the mishaps!

That which can be taken away , can be taken away!
That which can go wrong - will go wrong!
