Person vs Place

 The person you are matters most than the place to which you go

Pg.43 : Letter from a Stoic 

Seneca


Seneca says this : 


You wonder hither and thither

To rid yourself of the burden upon

Though its more trouble by your restlessness

Just as in a ship, the cargo when stationary makes no trouble

When it shifts this side or that

Causes the vessel to heel more quickly in which it slides

You hurt yourself by your very unrest

For you are shaky as a sickman! 


My note:

Become the person you are

Not by seeking the place, position, possession and primacy!

Seeking solace in the soul
