Morning
Text for Reflection:
It is not that we have a short space of time,
but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in
sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest
things if the whole of it is well invested. But when it is squandered in luxury
and carelessness, when it is devoted to no good end, forced at last by the
ultimate necessity we perceive that it has passed away before we were aware
that it was passing. So it is—the life we receive is not short, but we make it
so, nor do we have any lack of it, but are wasteful of it. Just as great and
princely wealth is scattered in a moment when it comes into the hands of a bad
owner, while wealth however limited, if it is entrusted to a good guardian,
increases by use, so life is amply long for the one who orders it properly.
Seneca, On the Shortness of
Life 1
