Happiness from Minimalism | Daily Quote No. 26
Another quote from Seneca...
‘So, it is inevitable that life will not be just very short, but very miserable, for those who acquire by great toil what they must keep by greater toil.’
Seneca, On The Shortness of Life
This is one of my favourite lines I have read from Seneca so far. What is the purpose of working so hard to acquire something which require just as much work to maintain? What is the purpose in a multimillion pound mansion if it is to require hundreds of thousands to run it? What are you keeping yourself in the hamster wheel?
