The nature of suffering
“We suffer more in imagination than in reality” ~Seneca Influenced by the work of Plato and Socrates, the Stoic philosopher Seneca believed that everyone should live in the present without dwelling on past regrets or future worries. Many emotional difficulties are self-imposed, Seneca suggested. All of us battle disappointment and emotional suffering. But imagine instead what would happen if we didn’t dwell on them — and imagined inner peace instead? ~CL
