Exploring the concept of time, Seneca emphasizes the importance of living intentionally and purposefully in the present. Written as a moral essay to Paulinus around 49 AD, it argues that nature provides sufficient time for meaningful pursuits if allocated wisely. The insights in this work resonate deeply even two millennia later, urging readers to reflect on their use of time and prioritize what truly matters in life.
