Seneca, On The Shortness Of Life - Pleasures, Leisure, And Work - Sadler's Lectures
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On The Shortness of Life
It focuses specifically on his discussions throughout that work of people who misuse the leisure and free time they possess by pursuing pleasures that require a lot of time and work to procure, enjoy, or safeguard. Seneca tells us that: "They are not unoccupied whose pleasures are made a busy occupation."
