It matters not what one says

 


It matters not what one says

Seneca

Letters from a Stoic - Volume II


It matters not what one says

It matters not how one acts

It matters lot how one feels

Not on a particular day

But day after day!!!


Seneca says:

“Do me a favor , 

When men surround you and try to

Talk you into believing that you are to consider

Not what you fear 

But what yourself feel

And to take counsel in oyur feelings 

Question yourself independently

Because you know your affairs more than

Anyone else! 


So come to the present:

Ask yourself-

Am I suffering more in imagination

Or is this reality?

Is this the Pats/Present tormenting me or 

Is this the torment in the present?
