<p>This episode weaves together the wisdom of Michel de Montaigne and Seneca—two thinkers separated by centuries yet united in their answer to life’s oldest question: how should we live?</p><br><p>For Montaigne, the key was freedom from the fear of death. For Seneca, freedom from the waste of life. One teaches acceptance, the other intention.</p><br><p>Together, they remind us that peace comes not from prolonging our days, but from inhabiting them fully—to stop dreading the end and start honoring the present as life’s most sacred gift.</p><br><p>👇 👇 👇</p><br><p>📻<strong> FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENT</strong></p><br><p>Check out one of my latest daily <em>Micro Morning Meditations</em> here on Substack:</p><br><p><em>☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: This Is True Temperance</em></p><p><a href="https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-this-is-2fa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-this-is-2fa</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
