About

ON THE SHORTNESS OF LIFEis a moral essay written bySenecathe Younger, a RomanStoicphilosopher, to his father-in-law Paulinus.
Senecabrings up manyStoicprinciples on the nature of time, namely that men waste much of it in meaningless pursuits.
According to the essay, nature gives man enough time to do what is really important and the individual must use time wisely.
In general, time can be best used in the study of philosophy, according toSeneca.
This essay has been carefully adapted in toModern Englishto allow for easy reading.
