About this listen

 Seneca's Letter 122 delves into the concept of darkness as a veil for wickedness. In this letter, Seneca argues that evil deeds often take place in the cover of darkness, where individuals feel hidden and protected from scrutiny. He emphasizes that darkness provides a sense of anonymity and allows people to act without fear of being discovered or judged. Seneca further explores the idea that darkness can serve as an excuse for wickedness, as it offers a convenient cloak to conceal one's true intentions. Ultimately, Seneca urges his readers to be aware of this phenomenon and to strive for moral integrity even in the absence of light.
