Seneca's essay 'On the Shortness of Life' argues that life is not inherently short, but that people waste much of it on trivial pursuits and distractions. He emphasizes the importance of using time wisely and engaging in philosophy to truly live a fulfilling life. Seneca criticizes those who are preoccupied with wealth, power, and social duties, suggesting that they fail to appreciate the value of time. He advocates for a life of reflection and philosophical study as a means to achieve true leisure and fulfillment.
