On the Shortness of Life
by Seneca
You know how we all complain about how fast time flies?
That’s pretty much the theme of this book. Seneca’s out here, from like thousands of years ago, telling us, “Bro, life isn’t actually short. We just waste a lot of it.”
Think about all those hours we spend scrolling through social media, stressing over stuff that doesn’t really matter in the long run, or just mindlessly going through the motions. Seneca’s point is that we’re letting life slip through our fingers, focusing on the wrong things.
Now, how’s this gonna change YOUR life?
Well, after reading it, I felt like I’d been given a set of glasses that let me see where I was wasting my time. It’s a call to action to stop waiting for ‘someday’ and start living NOW.
Think about it — if we start valuing our time like we do our most prized possessions and invest it in things that truly matter — our passions, relationships, personal growth — imagine the life we could live.
