Chapter 1: Of A Happy Life

Today, we read chapter 1 of, Of A Happy Life, by Seneca the Younger.

“Now nothing gets us into greater troubles than our subservience to common rumour, and our habit of thinking that those things are best which are most generally received as such, of taking many counterfeits for truly good things, and of living not by reason but by imitation of others.”
