Bisogna pensare a imperatori pazzi e geniali, a calunnie, a cordate, a rese dei conti, a notti romane popolate di incontri segreti, di patti magari sottoscritti per essere subito disattesi. Sono cose che non vi giungono nuove?

This is achievable by the development of an understanding of how to control the passions, and to make them subject to reason. Seneca believed that the passions arise in a rational mind as a misunderstanding of reality. A passion is a defective belief which occurs when the mind makes errors about the values of things.

Seneca, der große stoische Philosoph und Staatsmann, wird von seinem Freund Serenus wie ein Arzt angesprochen: "Heile mich, Seneca, von meinem Makel im Innersten!" Seine Seele fühle sich beklemmt.
