Character must be rescued from the mob! It is too easy to side with the majority!
Seneca - Letters from a Stoic!
We can be shaken by a crowd - either by applause or by heckling
result is imitating or loathing the world - both of which to be avoided!
The greater the mob we mingle, greater the danger - says Seneca!
rather practice solitude!
democritus says - " One man means as much to me as multitude, and multitude as much as one man"
Another author (unknown?) : " I am content with few, content with one , content with none at all"
Epicurus : " I write this not for the many, but for you; each of us is enough of an audience for the other"
you may ask - what purpose did I write this - It was for myself 😉😉😉
