Like Ferris I learned a lot from stoic Seneca's “On the Shortness of Life” and I'm planning to codify clearly my own philosophies in some key areas of my life. Posted on March 15, 2013 by Rob. It's an excerpt from De Brevitate Vitae (On the Shortness of Life) by Lucius Annaeus Seneca, and except for a few cultural discrepancies (having slaves for example) it could just as easily have been written today. �Based on this extremely acute awareness of the shortness of life, everybody argued you should find work you love; work ought to be chosen for its intrinsic value, and for its sense of enjoyment, sense of purpose. I woke up this morning to the news that teen actor Corey Haim died. Lucas, Laughs, and the Shortness of Life: Remembering Corey Haim. I first came across Seneca the Stoic through Tim Ferriss, who names him as his favorite philosopher and posted a translation of one of his letters – On the Shortness of Life – on his blog. Lucas was Haim's breakout role. Some of the members here may be familiar with Morgan, a classy Lady who has provided companionship in the London area for several years. Word is spreading she just passed away in her sleep. The average person wanders around 28.000 days on this beloved earth of ours before going to some place else. I'm not well-read in the classics, but a few pieces have been important sources of meaning to me over the years--most notably Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. His companions, Jerry and Elaine, seem remarkably unconcerned with George's seemingly life-threatening predicament. (Seneca, On the Shortness of Life). And one of my favorite movies ever. �…the greatest waste of life exists in postponement: that is what takes away each day as it comes, that is what snatches away the present while promising something to follow. Some people have said i'm smart, this blog proves them wrong. A Short Reminder of the Shortness of Life.
