That struggle with time and the span of our lives, my live - it is almost something that is inherent in the way we live, work and exist in our minds - maybe I’m not sure but when Seneca says ‘...a god has no advantage over a wise man in point of happiness, even though he has such an advantage in point of years. That virtue is not greater which lasts longer.’ It seems obvious as I read it, and as we face loss of our span ... in life, job or even being aware of the duration of a holiday ... it’s often hard to not buy into the notion that duration has a value more than it should and can steal the true virtue of being in the moment. Thank you for today reading
