Tao Of Seneca Letter 4 - On The Terrors Of Death

► Tao Of Seneca Letter 4 - On The Terrors Of Death ◄

"Keep on as you have begun, and make all possible haste, so that you may have longer enjoyment of an improved mind, one that is at peace with itself.

Doubtless you will derive enjoyment during the time when you are improving your mind and setting it at peace with itself; but quite different is the pleasure which comes from contemplation when one’s mind is so cleansed from every stain that it shines.

You remember, of course, what joy you felt when you laid aside the garments of boyhood and donned the man’s toga, and were escorted to the forum; nevertheless, you may look for a still greater joy when you have laid aside the mind of boyhood and when wisdom has enrolled you among men.

For it is not boyhood that still stays with us, but something worse, – boyishness.

And this condition is all the more serious because we possess the authority of old age, together with the follies of boyhood, yea, even the follies of infancy. Boys fear trifles, children fear shadows, we fear both.

[...]

Take my word for it: since the day you were born you are being led thither. We must ponder this thought, and thoughts of the like nature, if we desire to be calm as we await that last hour, the fear of which makes all previous hours uneasy.

But I must end my letter."

This excerpt of this letter tells us a little bit about the fear of death.

More or less, we all fear death. Whether you have already experienced or it will still be your time, lots of people discuss and find ways on how to handle the fear of dying.

Feeling that you haven't done everything you wanted in your life is one of the biggest regrets of the ones who end up being close to death.

And what about you? What is your relationship with death itself? Is your mind free of constraints or do you still find yourself running from the inevitable?

In this video, I'll share what the Stoics have to say about that and what you can learn from it.
