Seneca – We Suffer More Often in Imagination
The story behind it
Seneca (c. 4 BC–65 AD), Stoic philosopher and adviser to Emperor Nero, wrote this in a letter to his friend Lucilius. Most of the things we fear never happen – yet we suffer them over and over in our heads. His advice: deal with what is real today, not with what might go wrong tomorrow.
