" I'll give you a little rule to evaluate your progress and realize that they have now reached perfection has its own good when you see that men are actually happier considered the most unhappy. Take care. " Seneca. (End of Moral Letters to Lucilius)
I will tell the story of Lucilius, the legendary destination of Iberia Seneca Moral Epistles. not Lucilius was rich, he tried a career in politics and also wrote some poetry, but without any success, because he was bored and full of letters, followed the precepts of Seneca to the well better. He had a country house and a wagon which was carrying wheat to the market. Now, being a poor man and wanting to follow the teachings of the English geezer : Ducunt volentem fairy nolentem trahunt "Fate guides those who accept it, and drag the reluctant," Lucilius took his dog and put it besides the only horse pulling the cart and spent the time to fix it as he followed the route to market. The trouble was that the experiment was hurt because the dog being in front of the cart could not necessarily follow that the running of the car, would not risk leaving the skin under a wheel. Lucilius naive, however, remained amazed at how reality reflects the words of his master. Lucilius was also a student apathy. Some days she sat in a chair and watched impassively nothing, as indeed observed implies action, Lucilius nullified nothing. Unfortunately, the story of Lucilius is really short, because the girl he left our hero, weary of a guy too boring and an old Iberian, and probably just looking for affection that had clogged the ante with a collection of 124 points divided into 20 books of different extension (Up to the size of a treaty). Lucilius, alone and desperate short time later, he committed suicide. Seneca I was happily impressed.
