For this body of ours is a weight upon the soul

 For this body of ours is a weight upon the soul

Pg.98

Letters from a Stoic

Seneca


Seneca says : 

Worldly pleasure is a load pressing down

On the soul!

And you need to receive it with philosophy

The soul is imprisoned inside this gloomy house!

So it seeks the sky whenever it can!

And in contemplation, does it find rest!
