Seneca - Moral Letters - 55: On Vatia's Villa

This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

Notes:
“For the man who has fled from affairs and from men, who has been banished to seclusion by the unhappiness which his own desires have brought upon him, who cannot see his neighbour more happy than himself, who through fear has taken to concealment, like a frightened and sluggish animal. - this person is not living for himself he is living for his belly, his sleep, and his lust, - and that is the most shameful thing in the world. He who lives for no one does not necessarily live for himself.”
“The place where one lives, however, can contribute little towards tranquillity; it is the mind which must make everything agreeable to itself.”
