  • サマリー

  • In Seneca's Letter 118, titled "On the Vanity of Place-Seeking," he explores the futility of seeking power and position. Seneca argues that the pursuit of high status and authority is ultimately empty and unsatisfying. He emphasizes that true happiness does not come from external circumstances or social standing, but from within ourselves. Seneca advises his readers to focus on cultivating inner virtues and finding contentment in their present circumstances, rather than constantly striving for higher positions. He reminds us that the desire for power and recognition can lead to a never-ending cycle of dissatisfaction and disappointment. Instead, Seneca encourages us to embrace humility and simplicity, finding joy in the simple pleasures of life rather than in the pursuit of worldly success.
