This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker. This Core Concept video focuses on Seneca's work On The Shortness of Life, and specifically on his discussions throughout that work of people who misuse the leisure and free time they possess by pursuing pleasures that require a lot of time and work to procure, enjoy, or safeguard. Seneca tells us that: T"hey are not unoccupied whose pleasures are made a busy occupation." By contrast: "Everyone hurries his life on and suffers from a yearning for the future and a weariness of the present. But he who bestows all of his time on his own needs, who plans out every day as if it were his last, neither longs for nor fears the morrow. For what new pleasure is there that any hour can now bring? They are all known, all have been enjoyed to the full. Mistress Fortune may deal out the rest as she likes; his life has already found safety. Something may be added to it, but nothing taken from it, and he will take any addition as the man who is satisfied and filled takes the food which he does not desire and yet can hold."
