About this listen

In Seneca's Letter 120, he delves deeper into the concept of virtue and its importance in leading a fulfilling life. He emphasizes that virtue is not simply an abstract idea or a set of moral principles, but rather a way of life that requires constant practice and self-discipline. Seneca argues that true virtue is not dependent on external circumstances or rewards, but is instead an internal state of mind that can be cultivated through self-reflection and self-improvement. He urges his readers to strive for virtue not for the sake of others' opinions or societal expectations, but for their own personal growth and happiness. Seneca's letter serves as a reminder that true fulfillment comes from living a virtuous life, and that the pursuit of material possessions or external success can never truly satisfy the soul.
