Today's reading from the Daily Stoic comes from Seneca, Moral Letters

The Daily Stoic was written by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman, and published by Profile Books. Learn more here:

I post this with my own commentary. If you'd like the commentary from the authors of The Daily Stoic, you can buy the book here:

I read only the quotations from the Stoics, which are in the public domain.

The first to go in the nazi camps were the ones with hope…. What an intense and initially counter intuitive statement.
I tend to consider myself a hopeful person. Though i also consider myself pragmatic and realistic. 🤔. Hmmm… food for thought indeed!
