Stoicism on Shortness of Life | Is Life Truly Short?

#Seneca #Time #LifeLife feels short because you are wasteful. You postpone living, waiting for a future that is not yours. The only time you truly possess is the present moment. Most of us complain that life is too brief, that nature has cheated us of time. We look back with regret and forward with anxiety, feeling that we have not yet begun to live. But the Stoic philosopher Seneca, in his essay On the Shortness of Life, argues that life is long enough if we know how to use it. The problem is not the brevity of our days, but the carelessness with which we spend them. This video explores Seneca's timeless wisdom on time management, the dangers of busyness, and the art of living immediately. It challenges you to stop drifting, to reclaim your attention, and to cease the "suicide of the soul" that is killing time. Stoicism does not promise you more time. It offers you the wisdom to stop wasting the time you have. You will learn: Why you guard your money but give away your time to anyone who asks. The danger of "postponed living"—planning to be wise only when you are old. How to distinguish between "existing" for a long time and truly "living". The concept of "time annexation": how studying the past expands your own life. Why busyness is often just a mask for the fear of silence. The discipline of the "Evening Audit" to ensure you are not sleepwalking through your days. This video is not about productivity. It is about presence. Watch slowly. Listen carefully. And take only what serves you. “It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.” — Seneca ⏳ Chapters: 00:00 The Complaint of Brevity 03:00 The Procrastination of Life 06:15 Existing vs. Living 09:40 The Leak of Distraction 13:10 The Busy Man's Trap 16:45 Learning to Say "No" 20:20 Annexing the Past 23:55 The Fear of Boredom 27:30 The Evening Audit 31:10 The Fullness of Today 34:00 Living Without Regret 📖 Recommended Reading: On the Shortness of Life – Seneca Meditations – Marcus Aurelius Letters from a Stoic – Seneca Subscribe for regular reflections on Stoic philosophy, inner clarity, and the discipline of mind. ★ Keywords: stoicism stoic philosophy seneca on the shortness of life time management stoic wisdom marcus aurelius epictetus living in the present overcoming procrastination value of time philosophy of time mindfulness inner peace mental clarity purpose of life how to stop wasting time meaningful life personal growth self improvement #Seneca #Time #Life #Stoicism #StoicPhilosophy
