Hi Jeffrey,

## I just read

One of my favorite book= is Michel de Montaigne's Les Essais which I used to read often about =5 years ago. Senaca's reminded me of Les Essais.

In another word, Montaigne apparently seems to be borrowing =he style of writing and concept from Seneca.

Anyway, DE BREVITATE V=TAE was a good reading, but to me, through Les Essais or through my life s= far, I thought I already knew all his points.

Rather, I thought he might have been trapped himself by a spe=ific thought - like philosophy especially Aristoteles. =div>

I would say, take it easy.

A= long as I hold my life myself, I decide what I want to do myself, and lea=e me alone. :D

## =/div>

Having said that, it is so true that there are =o many people including smartest, richest, and most powerful people, who a=e being fooled around by themselves and not happy. Too sad. =br> Best - Oki
