Lucius Annaeus Seneca war ein römischer Philosoph, Staatsmann und Dramatiker. Er zählt zu den wichtigsten Vertretern der Stoa, nebst Marc Aurel, Cicero und Epiktet. Primär befasste er sich mit den Fragen der rechten Lebensführung. Es sei eine Pflicht, jedem Menschen Gutes zu tun. Armut sei keine Pflicht des Weisen, solange der Reichtum ehrlich verdient und überlegt eingesetzt werde. Er sah sich selbst aber nicht als vollkommenen Weisen: "Ich preise das Leben, nicht wie ich es führe, sondern wie ich weiß, dass es geführt werden muss."

Warum sonst erscheinen diese unzähligen Ratgeber, die für alle Lebenslagen Hilfe anbieten und in allen Medien präsent sind. Dabei könnte alles so einfach sein. Seneca wusste schon vor 2000 Jahren so viel über den Menschen und die Gesellschaft, dass die Lektüre seiner Schriften die meisten Ratgeber überflüssig macht...

Der bekannte, an seinen Bruder Gallio adressierte Text gehört zu den wichtigen Texten Senecas und hat später Autoren und Philosophen von Heinrich von Kleist bis Wilhelm Schmid beeinflusst. Seneca arbeitet dabei Unterschiede zwischen Wohlleben und Glück heraus, verurteilt nicht die Annehmlichkeiten des Lebens, weist ihnen aber den gebührenden Platz nach den wichtigen Dingen des Lebens zu. Nach und nach entwickelt er so ein Vademecum über das richtige, gelingende Leben. Vom glückseligen Leben.

The majority of mortals, Paulinus, complain bitterly of the spitefulness of Nature, because we are born for a brief span of life, because even this space that has been granted to us rushes by so speedily and so swiftly that all save a very few find life at an end just when they are getting ready to live. Nor is it merely the common herd and the unthinking crowd that bemoan what is, as men deem it, an universal ill; the same feeling has called forth complaint also from men who were famous.

De Brevitate Vitae (frequently referred to as On the Shortness of Life in English) is a moral essay written by Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher, to his father-in-law Paulinus. The philosopher brings up many Stoic principles on the nature of time, namely that men waste much of it in meaningless pursuits. According to the essay, nature gives man enough time to do what is really important and the individual must allot it properly.

The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as ‘On Benefits'. However, it is more usefully titled ‘On Favours', because this is what it is essentially about: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions.

Wenn Dir ein Unheil passiert, gibt es für Dich kein besseres Heilmittel als die Lektüre von Lucius A. Seneca. Seine Schriften fanden die Bewunderung des Kirchenvaters Hieronymus, sie trösteten den römischen Senator Boethius im Gefängnis, sie wurden von Dante zitiert und von Rubens verehrt, sie entlockten sogar dem Erasmus höchstes Lob. Sein eigenes Leben vor 2000 Jahren scheint dazu in offenem Gegensatz zu stehen: Unter Kaiser Caligula wird Seneca verfolgt, unter Claudius verbannt und von Nero zum Selbstmord gezwungen.

Seneca's On the Shortness of Life is a masterpiece work of the ancient Stoic philosophy that will take you on a thought-provoking journey of timeless revelations, eye-opening insights, and profound life lessons.
