-The words of Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the famous Roman Stoic philosopher that also dabbled in politics as Nero's educator and advisor, have been well-preserved. In fact, my wife is reading a Dutch translation of his _De Tranquillitate Animi_ (On Tranquillity of Mind). We both love Seneca because he wrote about how to live a life---something that heavily influenced [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/)--- and because he advocates the usage of "a simple pen". Take that, odd German post-rationalist philosophers. I'm looking at you, Hegel and Heiddeger.

 But what if Seneca wasn't Nero's advisor? In his works, he regularly admits the privilege of being born in an affluent family, being one of the few Romans that could afford to devote a life to study. Seneca was born 4 years before Christ, and yet, two thousand years later, many of his writings can still be loaned in almost any library. His wife held up his legacy for a few years after Nero forced him to commit suicide. I suppose his fate also sealed his fame (and, ultimately, the other way around).
