00:00:03

the text is given according to the publication of the wells of

00:00:07

Anne Seneca,

00:00:09

philosophical treatises St. Petersburg

00:00:14

2001 second building,

00:00:17

most mortals complain to Pauline about the

00:00:20

insidiousness of nature, they say, my birth is

00:00:24

so short and the time allotted to us

00:00:28

flies by so quickly that with the exception of perhaps

00:00:31

a few, we are leaving and life is

00:00:34

not yet managed to properly prepare for it

00:00:37

about this, in general, as is generally accepted,

00:00:41

disaster screams not only the ignorant

00:00:44

crowd, not only the devil, but also many glorious

00:00:48

men could not contain their sorrowful stings in

00:00:51

the face of such a misfortune, here the greatest of

00:00:54

healers exclaims life is short,

00:00:59

art is long, here Aristotle

00:01:03

makes a small claim to nature

00:01:06

befitting a sage to

00:01:08

other animals, she, by her mercy,

00:01:11

lengthened the age so much that they

00:01:13

survive 5 or even 10 generations, but

00:01:17

a person born for great deeds

00:01:20

put an end to where the speediest we don’t have a lot of

00:01:26

time and we lose a lot, life

00:01:31

has been given to us long enough and is more than enough

00:01:34

for accomplishing the greatest deeds if

00:01:38

you distribute it wisely,

00:01:40

but if it is not directed to a good purpose,

00:01:44

if our wastefulness and negligence

00:01:47

allows it to slip between our fingers,

00:01:50

then when our last hour strikes, we are

00:01:54

surprised to discover that life is a

00:01:56

flow that we did not notice and that is how

00:02:01

we did not get the glass a short life,

00:02:05

but we made it short, we are not deprived of it,

00:02:09

but are unscrupulous and squander, as if

00:02:12

this royal property passed into the hands of a

00:02:15

bad owner, the blink of an eye

00:02:18

scatters to the wind, and the property, even

00:02:21

modest, transferred to a good keeper,

00:02:24

multiplies and the time of our life

00:02:28

lengthens for the one who disposes of it a lot

00:02:31

so that we complain about the nature of

00:02:37

things, it is favorable to us, I life is

00:02:40

long if you know what to use it, but

00:02:44

what are we doing, one is bogged down by insatiable

00:02:48

greed,

00:02:49

the other is in the bustle of endless work and

00:02:52

fruitless activity, one is

00:02:55

planted like a sponge with wine, the other

00:02:58

is dozing in endless laziness 1 is tormented

00:03:02

forever depending on the opinions of others the vanity

00:03:05

of another, the passion for trade, drives

00:03:08

headlong across all seas and lands for profit;

00:03:11

others are consumed by warlike ardor;

00:03:14

they never for a moment stop thinking about

00:03:16

dangers threatening someone somewhere and

00:03:19

worrying about their own safety;

00:03:21

there are people full of selfless devotion to

00:03:24

their superiors; I give myself to voluntary

00:03:27

slavery has captured many with envy of

00:03:30

other people's wealth, many care about their

00:03:33

own, most people do not

00:03:35

pursue a definite goal, they are thrown

00:03:39

from side to side, unsteady, they are

00:03:41

constantly and have turned

00:03:43

frivolous to themselves, they strive only

00:03:46

for one thing and are not attracted to anything at all,

00:03:49

they are not attracted to anything they see a

00:03:52

guiding goal and doom overtakes them

00:03:56

relaxation sleepily idiots this is

00:03:59

truly right the greatest of flights

00:04:02

through speech we could accept as

00:04:05

cancer the part of life in

00:04:09

which we live is negligible because everything else, not life

00:04:14

but pastimes, is surrounded on all sides

00:04:18

and oppresses people with vices not

00:04:22

allowing one to straighten up,

00:04:23

not allowing one to raise one's eyes and see the truth of

00:04:27

the shaft, nodding down to the bottom and there firmly

00:04:31

tied to passions, a

00:04:34

person is unable to free himself and come to

00:04:36

his senses even if suddenly a calm respite happens in life, a

00:04:40

person's worries do not

00:04:43

stop, like in the sea after a

00:04:45

storm, they rush for a long time waves and

00:04:49

he never knows rest from his passions,

00:04:52

you think I’m talking about the generally recognized

00:04:55

losers,

00:04:56

look at others, what happiness to all the

00:05:00

heads,

00:05:01

they are suffocating under the weight of what they

00:05:04

call blessings, how many are oppressed by

00:05:08

wealth, how much blood is spoiled by eloquence for many, the

00:05:12

daily duty

00:05:14

to shine with intelligence and how many lose their health

00:05:19

endless pleasures, how many are not

00:05:23

allowed to catch their breath, an

00:05:24

inexhaustible stream of clients until

00:05:28

you finally sort them all out from bottom to top, this

00:05:31

lawyer is looking for this, this lawyer is running to intercede,

00:05:35

he accuses, he defends, he judges,

00:05:39

no one cares about himself, everyone is absorbed in

00:05:43

others,

00:05:44

ask those whose names are on everyone’s lips,

00:05:47

why are they so are remarkable, but this is why

00:05:51

one trustee from them, the other, the other,

00:05:55

no one cares only for himself,

00:05:58

others are indignant, they complain that

00:06:02

high-ranking officials despise us and, you see, find

00:06:05

time to accept us

00:06:08

when we want to see them, pure

00:06:11

madness, since you dare to complain about the

00:06:14

arrogance of another if you yourself you

00:06:16

never find time for yourself, he will

00:06:19

sometimes notice you for who you are not,

00:06:22

even though with annoyance on his face, he will

00:06:25

still listen to you and let you go home with him, but you will

00:06:28

never notice yourself, you will never

00:06:31

listen, which means

00:06:35

you have nothing to do grumble at someone as if you

00:06:38

were denied your right to attention,

00:06:41

you say that you wanted to be with someone else,

00:06:44

but you are not able to be with yourself for a minute,

00:06:47

every bright mind, every

00:06:52

head, at least once in their life, illuminated by a thought will

00:06:54

never tire of being surprised by this strange

00:06:57

reading of minds In human reality,

00:07:01

none of us will allow

00:07:03

our possessions to be invaded and not even the slightest dispute has arisen between

00:07:06

borders, we will take up stones and

00:07:09

weapons, and we allow

00:07:13

others to interfere in our lives without hindrance;

00:07:15

moreover, we ourselves invite the future

00:07:18

owners and managers of our lives; there is no

00:07:22

person willing to share the

00:07:24

money with others. to how much does each one give away his

00:07:27

life, we vigilantly guard the ska and the

00:07:31

inheritance, but when time is spent

00:07:34

beyond measure, it is wasteful and it flies, and the

00:07:38

only thing in which stinginess is worthy of

00:07:41

respect, you want to stop

00:07:44

some old man in the crowd and ask, have

00:07:47

you reached the last age accessible to a person, are

00:07:50

you right 100 or even

00:07:53

more, try to remember your life

00:07:57

and make a calculation, estimate

00:07:58

how much the creditor took from this time,

00:08:01

how much the girlfriend, how much the patron,

00:08:05

how much the client, how much was spent on quarrels with the

00:08:09

wife, punishment of servants, running around on business,

00:08:12

add here illnesses for which you yourself

00:08:15

are to blame, add just like that without benefit from

00:08:18

the time spent and you will see that you are

00:08:22

now much older than you

00:08:24

really are, please

00:08:26

remember when you carried out your

00:08:29

own decisions, count those that have not

00:08:32

passed since you planned to remember,

00:08:35

you never

00:08:36

had yourself when your face kept

00:08:39

its natural expression, when there

00:08:43

was no anxiety in your soul,

00:08:44

estimate how much He managed to do real business, that

00:08:48

is, in such a long century, and you will see that

00:08:52

most of your life was stolen piece by

00:08:55

piece by strangers

00:08:56

and you did not understand what you were losing, remember

00:09:01

how much empty sorrows,

00:09:04

stupid joys,

00:09:05

greedy aspirations, deceitfully kind

00:09:08

chatter took from you, and how insignificantly little is left for

00:09:12

you of yours,

00:09:14

count and you will understand that at your hundred years old

00:09:17

you die untimely, what’s the matter is

00:09:24

that you live like eternal winners, you

00:09:26

forgot your frailty, I don’t note

00:09:29

how much of your time has already expired, you

00:09:33

rush right and left as if

00:09:35

you don’t have a dick, catch a reserve, but

00:09:38

maybe it’s the one the day that you so

00:09:41

generously give to some person or

00:09:43

business is the last you fear everything in the world

00:09:47

like a mortal and thirst for everything in the world

00:09:50

like immortals listen to

00:09:54

almost everyone you will hear such words

00:09:57

50 years I will retire from 60 I will be freed from

00:10:01

all responsibilities and who, interestingly,

00:10:06

guaranteed to you that you

00:10:08

will live to see these years, who will command these events exactly

00:10:12

as you assume,

00:10:13

and besides, how are you not ashamed to devote

00:10:17

for yourself only the pitiful remnants of your

00:10:19

own years to leave for a good and

00:10:23

reasonable life or 100 time that is no longer good for

00:10:26

anything? Isn’t it too late to

00:10:28

start living when it’s time to end,

00:10:31

what kind of stupid oblivion of one’s own

00:10:34

mortality is it, to put off sensibly and thinking

00:10:38

until 50 or 60 years old and get ready to start

00:10:41

life from that age to which few

00:10:44

people live? Take a closer look, people

00:10:47

ascended to the heights of power and

00:10:49

might sometimes involuntarily sigh about

00:10:52

desired leisure and praise it so much that

00:10:56

one would think

00:10:57

they would prefer it to everything they don’t have,

00:11:01

and so they dream of descending from these

00:11:03

heights if only they could

00:11:06

be sure that they would survive at the same time, for

00:11:09

excessive happiness collapses under its

00:11:12

own weight even without an external

00:11:15

shock or attack from the side, the

00:11:19

divine Augustus, who received from the gods

00:11:22

more than anyone else, did not cease to

00:11:25

pray for the sending of peace and

00:11:27

rest from state worries;

00:11:31

he usually reduced every conversation to how

00:11:34

good it would be to finally be free from the

00:11:37

department in the midst of his labors, he was consoled by the

00:11:40

false but sweet thought of how in one a

00:11:44

beautiful day

00:11:45

will reclaim itself for itself in one

00:11:50

letter sent to the Senate he promises

00:11:53

that the days of his future rest will not be

00:11:56

completely devoid of dignity and perhaps

00:11:58

will bring him glory not much less than

00:12:00

before there I read

00:12:04

such words of course such things

00:12:09

should not have been said in advance in order to

00:12:11

produce the due the impression must be

00:12:14

shown has already been made and yet I wish to

00:12:17

quickly achieve this desired pair of the

00:12:20

best time of my life that since

00:12:24

this joy is not in a hurry to me in

00:12:26

reality I am looking ahead and

00:12:28

tasting part of the future pleasure of

00:12:31

sweet conversations about it like this,

00:12:35

leisure seems to him a thing so

00:12:38

wonderful that not having the opportunity

00:12:41

to enjoy it in practice, he finds

00:12:44

pleasure in just the thought of him,

00:12:47

a man who saw that everything in the world depended

00:12:50

on him alone,

00:12:51

who decided the fate of people and nations,

00:12:54

believed that the happy day of his life

00:12:58

would be the one when he threw off the

00:13:02

power that was enveloping him,

00:13:03

he knew how much Bota survived from him

00:13:07

this happiness shining for the whole world how many

00:13:11

secret anxieties sk

00:13:12

it is behind his rays, first with his fellow citizens,

00:13:16

then with his colleagues in office, finally with his

00:13:19

relatives, he had to use weapons

00:13:22

to decide the question of who was who, flooding the seas and

00:13:25

lands with Roman blood, having gone through the war in

00:13:29

Macedonia Sicily Egypt Syria Asia Abaya

00:13:35

all around almost the entire Mediterranean Sea, he

00:13:38

finally turned the troops, tired of

00:13:40

internecine resmi, against external

00:13:43

enemies, and while we were measuring the Alps, he tamed

00:13:47

the enemy who had invaded in the middle of a truce

00:13:50

in the heart of the empire

00:13:51

while he pushed back the borders of Zara nitrates of the

00:13:54

Danube in the city itself, the dagger was sharpened on

00:13:57

him by the wounds of Scipio Lepidus

00:14:00

Ignatius and others not He managed to avoid

00:14:04

this misfortune when a new one plunges him, already

00:14:08

broken over the years, into a shudder,

00:14:10

this time his own daughter and a whole

00:14:14

swarm of noble young men whom

00:14:17

adultery bound more tightly than any

00:14:19

oath, and here a new fear repeats the one

00:14:23

that was once again a woman in

00:14:26

alliance with Anthony, these abscesses un swelling,

00:14:30

along with the members,

00:14:31

new ones immediately swelled up, as if the

00:14:35

body was too full-blooded, where

00:14:37

bleeding constantly broke out, and so he dreamed

00:14:40

of rest, leisure, thoughts about him forced the

00:14:44

factories to retreat and grief, this was the

00:14:47

main desire of a person who had the power to

00:14:51

fulfill a desire, Marcus Cicero,

00:14:54

who had to be torn between

00:14:57

us, ecology my on the one hand

00:15:01

Pompey micro themselves on the other between

00:15:04

outright enemies and dubious

00:15:06

friends

00:15:07

whom Bella threw in the waves

00:15:10

of whirlpools along with the state going to the bottom

00:15:12

and he kept trying to save it

00:15:15

and in the end drowned with him

00:15:18

who never had the chance not to know peace in

00:15:21

happiness not patiently wait out misfortunes

00:15:24

how many times did he

00:15:25

end his hated consulate, although he himself

00:15:28

praised him,

00:15:30

if not without reason then at least

00:15:33

without peace, in one letter to his father

00:15:35

sent when Pompey’s father was already

00:15:38

defeated, but his son again gathered the

00:15:41

scattered army in Spain, he simply sobbing you

00:15:44

ask what am I doing hanging around in my

00:15:47

tuscula not half free half slave and

00:15:50

then begins to mourn his entire

00:15:53

past life complain about the present

00:15:56

with despair looking hopelessly and the future

00:16:00

Cicero called himself semi free but

00:16:04

I swear by Hercules the sage will never

00:16:08

stoop to the point of being able to

00:16:11

to call such a name a sage cannot

00:16:15

be semi-free; his freedom is solid; he

00:16:19

always remains unshakable; he is not

00:16:22

bound by anything; he is his own master and does not obey

00:16:25

anyone; for who can stand above someone who has

00:16:29

risen above fate itself; Livy

00:16:34

Druz, a very decisive man of a cool and

00:16:37

ardent disposition, decided to introduce new

00:16:40

unheard of Before the laws

00:16:42

brought great misfortune to the country in the person of

00:16:45

two Gracchi, surrounded by crowds of

00:16:48

adherents from all over Italy, he did not

00:16:50

foresee the outcome of his business until he

00:16:53

found himself in a situation where it

00:16:55

was impossible to continue it and abandoning what had

00:16:58

once begun was no longer in his power,

00:17:00

then he says he cursed his life since

00:17:05

childhood, having never known a moment of peace,

00:17:07

and spoke out in this way, saying that he was the only one

00:17:11

among the Romans, even as a small boy, he did

00:17:14

not know any days off or holidays, even when he was

00:17:17

just a baby, in the text, he

00:17:21

decided to speak before the court in defense of the

00:17:23

accused, he tested the power of his influence

00:17:26

in the forum, and they speak so effectively that

00:17:30

some sentences were determined by his

00:17:32

speeches; what else could such an ambition that was beyond his age have resulted in?

00:17:38

Even then it could be said

00:17:41

with confidence that this child’s not childish arrogance and

00:17:44

self-confidence would lead to

00:17:47

great troubles, both private and public,

00:17:50

so he began to complain late that as a

00:17:54

child he knew neither rest nor entertainment,

00:17:56

preoccupied only with the serious affairs of the

00:17:59

forum,

00:18:00

some suggest that he

00:18:02

committed suicide,

00:18:03

for he died suddenly from a

00:18:06

single wound inflicted down the abdomen,

00:18:08

not everyone agrees to acknowledge his death

00:18:12

voluntarily, but no one refuses to acknowledge its

00:18:16

timely something to multiply examples

00:18:19

of people who seemed to everyone the darling of my happiness,

00:18:22

whose words truly testify to their

00:18:25

own disgust for everything that they

00:18:28

have done in their lives, their complaints did not

00:18:31

change those who heard them, nor those who

00:18:34

uttered them, before they had time to sound an

00:18:38

involuntarily escaped confession, as

00:18:40

passion again took its usual place

00:18:43

Even if your life is even a thousand years long, it will

00:18:47

still turn out to be negligible.

00:18:50

I swear by Hercules, such vices are

00:18:53

capable of devouring without a trace any number

00:18:56

of centuries.

00:19:00

Nature has made the time allotted to us fleeting, but your reason

00:19:03

lengthens it for you; it simply cannot

00:19:07

fly by instantly; you are not trying to

00:19:10

preserve it. hold back slow down the

00:19:12

rapid passage of time you allow

00:19:15

it to pass as if you have it in abundance it is

00:19:18

difficult for me to restore what is lost

00:19:21

here in first place I will probably put

00:19:24

those who have no time for anything other than

00:19:27

wine and voluptuousness because there are no

00:19:30

more shameful activities the delusion of other people

00:19:33

even those who all his life chasing the

00:19:35

ghost of glory,

00:19:37

still less unsightly, you can

00:19:41

point out to me the greediness in the

00:19:43

quarrelsome fno of those who live by causeless

00:19:46

hatred or by unjust warriors, in

00:19:49

my opinion, these vices are

00:19:52

more courageous, but to completely surrender to

00:19:56

gluttony and lust, shame and corruption,

00:20:01

look at that their life is wasted, estimate

00:20:04

how much time they spend on low

00:20:07

calculations, how much on intrigue, how much

00:20:10

fear takes away from them, how much pleasing

00:20:13

those who need them

00:20:14

and how much pleasing those who need them, how much

00:20:18

time is spent on going to

00:20:21

court on their own and other people’s affairs, how much on

00:20:23

feasting

00:20:24

that for They, however, have their

00:20:27

own responsibilities, you will see that

00:20:30

all this nightmare or happiness, whichever

00:20:34

way you look at it, does not allow them to take a breath,

00:20:38

and finally, everyone knows that a busy

00:20:42

person cannot learn anything

00:20:44

properly, not eloquence, unfree

00:20:48

sciences, since an absent-minded spirit does

00:20:51

not assimilate anything deeply, as it were spitting out

00:20:54

everything that they are trying to forcefully shove into

00:20:57

him the most inaccessible for a busy

00:21:00

person to live and banned sciences are more difficult for

00:21:04

teachers of all other sciences as much as you

00:21:07

like, in some cases even

00:21:09

little boys are so successful

00:21:12

that they themselves can teach life, but you

00:21:16

need to study all your life and which will

00:21:20

probably seem completely strange to you all your life life

00:21:24

must learn to die, how many great

00:21:27

men left everything that bothered them,

00:21:30

renounced wealth, responsibilities,

00:21:33

pleasures, and devoted themselves until a

00:21:36

very old age to one occupation,

00:21:38

learning to live, but most of them

00:21:42

passed away admitting that they never

00:21:44

learned, let alone others,

00:21:48

believe me, truly great the husband,

00:21:52

having risen above human

00:21:54

delusions, will not allow a single minute

00:21:57

of his mini to be taken away, his life is the longest because

00:22:02

all the allotted time he was free for

00:22:05

himself as the most thrifty owner,

00:22:09

he did not give up a single piece of time to wallow

00:22:11

idle, he was made not the slightest share

00:22:15

at the disposal of others

00:22:17

and I didn’t find any wonderful substances that were

00:22:20

worth getting in exchange for

00:22:22

my own time,

00:22:23

so he didn’t have enough in time, but he

00:22:27

can’t have enough of what

00:22:30

strangers are taking life piece by piece, don’t

00:22:34

think, however, that they themselves don’t

00:22:36

sooner or later begin to understand what they lost,

00:22:39

listen to the lucky one burdened

00:22:42

success and you will hear how often

00:22:44

surrounded by crowds of clients in the middle of

00:22:47

trials or some

00:22:49

other honorably tedious bustle they

00:22:52

exclaim they won’t let me live of course they won’t

00:22:57

let everyone who calls you to be a lawyer

00:23:00

take your life

00:23:01

how many days the accused stole from you

00:23:04

how many that candidate for the election

00:23:07

position some old woman tired of

00:23:10

burying her heirs how much is an imaginary patient here

00:23:15

who wanted to tease with greed everyone who was

00:23:18

wound up with his money how much was taken by your

00:23:22

overly high-ranking friend who

00:23:25

considers you not so much friends as

00:23:27

objects of his income check your

00:23:31

expenses I’m talking about you and sum up the

00:23:33

days of your life you will see that you

00:23:37

only have a few left,

00:23:38

these are only those that were not useful

00:23:41

to others, the one who passionately wanted to get

00:23:44

chamfers and finally achieved the position

00:23:47

dreams of now adding it up endlessly

00:23:49

repeats when will this year end the

00:23:53

other dreamed of organizing games and waited for a long time

00:23:56

when he would be luckier

00:23:58

the lot and now sighs when will

00:24:02

I finally get rid of them 3 the famous

00:24:06

lawyer is

00:24:07

always in great demand on the forum with agro

00:24:09

us gathering of people so that those in the back

00:24:12

can’t even hear him, he wins

00:24:14

any case no matter what he takes on and thinks

00:24:17

when will finally the judicial holidays

00:24:21

everyone rushes through life with you, his head is

00:24:25

consumed by longing for the future, then past and

00:24:28

disgust for the present, on the contrary,

00:24:32

he who uses every moment of his time

00:24:34

for his own benefit,

00:24:36

who sets the schedule of each day

00:24:39

as if I were his whole life, who without

00:24:42

hope and without fear awaits

00:24:45

tomorrow, in fact, what unknown

00:24:48

pleasures can present him with the

00:24:49

coming hour, everything is known, he

00:24:53

has tasted everything and now he is very full, let him

00:24:56

dispose of it if chance or

00:24:58

fortune pleases, his life is no longer in danger,

00:25:02

you can add something else to it, nothing

00:25:04

can be taken away from such a holy man,

00:25:06

you can offer another piece and he will take it,

00:25:09

but without greed, and so don’t let gray hair and

00:25:14

wrinkles make you think that a

00:25:16

person lived a long time; rather, he didn’t live long; he

00:25:20

stayed on earth for a long time; after all, the

00:25:23

third person whose storm overtook him slightly open

00:25:26

from the harbors and the raging

00:25:29

winds drove him around for a long time without taking him out of his

00:25:33

native bay, you won’t consider him

00:25:36

experienced It’s true that he was a sailor for a long time

00:25:40

at sea, but without sailing, but

00:25:43

dangling in the waves as a toy of the winds, I never

00:25:47

cease to appear, seeing how people ask

00:25:50

for time and others

00:25:53

agree to do it without the slightest difficulty, while both of them

00:25:56

pay attention only

00:25:59

to the object for which they ask for

00:26:01

time and neither one notices the

00:26:05

time itself, as if one did not ask for anything, the

00:26:08

other did not give anything, the most precious thing, and the

00:26:11

thing in the world is not taken seriously; they are

00:26:15

deceived by the fact that it is incorporeal, it

00:26:19

cannot be seen and touched, and that is why

00:26:22

it is valued the least, or rather, it is

00:26:26

not valued in any way

00:26:28

annual lump sum people

00:26:32

accept the salary very willingly,

00:26:34

paying for it with their labor

00:26:37

through diligence or diligence, time no one

00:26:41

evaluates it, they use it so carelessly

00:26:45

as if they were receiving a gift, but look at the same

00:26:49

people when they get sick, when the

00:26:52

threat of death hangs over them and they begin to

00:26:55

hug the knees of doctors, look at those

00:26:58

sentenced to death, they ready to give

00:27:01

everything they have just to live, what an

00:27:06

inconsistency of feelings, if

00:27:09

each of us could count the

00:27:12

years remaining ahead of him with the same accuracy with

00:27:15

which we count the years we have lived, then with what

00:27:18

reverent frugality we would

00:27:20

treat time where some of us have

00:27:22

little of it left, but after all, in fact,

00:27:26

even a small balance, if it is

00:27:28

known for sure, can be easily disposed of with

00:27:31

special frugality and requires something that

00:27:34

can run out at any moment,

00:27:37

however, one should not think that it never

00:27:40

occurs to people that time is a precious thing,

00:27:42

to those whom they love especially strongly they usually

00:27:46

say that they are ready to give it up for they

00:27:51

give it away for many years of their life,

00:27:52

but they themselves don’t understand it, they give it away, so

00:27:56

those for whom this is done don’t

00:27:59

receive anything, they give it away without bothering

00:28:02

to find out what it is and what they are

00:28:06

depriving themselves of, they scatter their time on just about

00:28:09

anything, calmly and without regrets because

00:28:12

they don’t see their losses no one

00:28:16

will compensate you for the lost years no one

00:28:19

will give you back

00:28:21

the time of your life once you start your run it

00:28:24

will move forward without stopping or

00:28:27

turning back 5 it moves silently

00:28:32

without giving anything away quickly you

00:28:35

silently glides past it will not be delayed by a non-

00:28:39

royal a decree is not a people's decree,

00:28:42

how she set off on a journey from the first moment of

00:28:46

your life, so

00:28:48

run forward without stopping, what

00:28:51

happens

00:28:52

you are busy with your own affairs, life is running away,

00:28:55

death is about to appear and for the same

00:28:58

you will have to find free time, whether

00:29:00

you want it or not, if in the world is

00:29:04

anyone stupider than people who

00:29:07

boast of their wise

00:29:09

foresight, they are always busy and

00:29:13

worried beyond measure, how do

00:29:17

they arrange their life at the expense of their life

00:29:19

so that it becomes better, they make far-

00:29:22

reaching plans, but putting something off

00:29:25

for the future is the worst way to waste

00:29:28

life

00:29:29

every time the coming day is taken away from you,

00:29:32

you give away the present in exchange for the promise of

00:29:36

the future,

00:29:37

waiting; the main obstacle is life; it always

00:29:42

depends on tomorrow and ruins

00:29:45

today; you are trying to manage

00:29:48

what is still in the hands of fortune; releasing

00:29:52

what was in your own; where you

00:29:55

look; where you stretch your hands; the future

00:29:59

is unknown. live now, this is the

00:30:03

saving prophecy that the

00:30:05

greatest of poets utters, as if by the inspiration of

00:30:08

divine lips, in the lives of unlucky

00:30:13

mortals, the best day flies by the fastest

00:30:18

that you are standing, he tells you that if you

00:30:21

hesitate to grab them, they will run away, however,

00:30:26

they will run away even if you grab them, that’s

00:30:29

why with the transience of time must be

00:30:32

fought with the speed of its use,

00:30:35

hurrying to draw from it as

00:30:38

much as possible, as if from a spring stream

00:30:41

rushing swiftly and just as

00:30:43

rapidly expiring, and what a

00:30:47

magnificent expression, blaming our

00:30:50

eternal slowness, he says not the

00:30:52

best couple of life, but the best days of hell, not

00:30:57

paying attention to the reverse the passage of

00:31:00

time, carefree,

00:31:01

you slowly line up a long

00:31:04

series of months and years in front of you, as if their number

00:31:07

depends only on your greed, listen to

00:31:11

you, they tell you that you can’t hold back even that day,

00:31:16

how can you doubt that the

00:31:18

first best thing of the day flees from the

00:31:21

unhappy, that is, the always busy

00:31:23

For mortals, old age falls

00:31:27

heavily on their still childish souls; they are

00:31:31

not prepared for it; they are helpless and

00:31:33

unarmed; they have not foreseen anything

00:31:36

in advance; they are surprised to discover that they

00:31:39

have suddenly grown old; after all, they did not

00:31:43

notice the daily approach to the end;

00:31:46

so a reading conversation or intense

00:31:49

thinking

00:31:50

deceives the traveler and he

00:31:53

finds himself on the spot without noticing how he

00:31:56

arrived, the same thing happens in our

00:31:59

constant and rapid journey

00:32:02

through life which we make in reality and in a

00:32:06

dream

00:32:07

which we make in reality and in a dream with the

00:32:10

same speed, busy people

00:32:12

notice it only when they stop at the

00:32:15

goal I could if I wanted to justify

00:32:20

my position according to all the rules, dividing

00:32:23

it into parts and proving each; I can’t

00:32:25

think of many arguments

00:32:28

confirming that

00:32:31

busy people have the shortest life, however, as Fabian said,

00:32:36

to fight passions you need to strain your

00:32:38

strength, they look for subtle arguments, and

00:32:41

he was one of the real philosophers of the old

00:32:45

school not one of the modern talkers from the

00:32:48

pulpit, he said that the structure of our

00:32:51

passions can only be crushed by a frontal

00:32:55

attack; they are light wounds of

00:32:58

verbal arrows fired from afar; he does not approve of the

00:33:02

intricacy of words; passions must be

00:33:05

destroyed;

00:33:06

they must be tickled; but in order for people

00:33:09

to see, they condemn their own errors;

00:33:14

they still need to be taught; only to mourn life is divided into

00:33:20

three times, the past, the present and the

00:33:23

future, of which the time in which we live

00:33:27

briefly, which we will have to live, is not

00:33:31

determined,

00:33:32

but what has been lived is true and reliable, because fortune

00:33:37

has already lost its rights to it and no one’s

00:33:40

arbitrariness

00:33:41

can change it,

00:33:44

busy people are deprived of this time they have no time to

00:33:47

look back at the past, and even if

00:33:50

they had, when they wouldn’t do it, it’s

00:33:53

unpleasant to remember what

00:33:55

they have to repent of, and I just

00:33:59

want to mentally return to the bad

00:34:02

years they lived, they don’t dare to look

00:34:05

at their previous breeds, because they

00:34:08

brightened up their time like the cunning pimp seemed to

00:34:12

justify the proximity of the desired

00:34:15

pleasure and from a distance they are seen

00:34:18

as they are without embellishment,

00:34:20

not a single person would voluntarily doom himself

00:34:23

to the torment of

00:34:24

memories, except for the one who

00:34:28

subjected all his actions to his own

00:34:31

censorship, which is never wrong, who

00:34:34

acted guided by ambitious

00:34:37

aspirations, arrogant contempt of

00:34:40

unbridled thirst for power, deceit and

00:34:44

deception, greedy acquisitiveness or

00:34:47

passion for wastefulness,

00:34:49

he cannot help but be afraid of his own

00:34:53

memory, but this sacred

00:34:57

inviolable part of our life has passed, not

00:35:00

subject to the vicissitudes of human

00:35:03

existence; fortune, conquered from the kingdom,

00:35:06

no longer bothers him, no

00:35:10

fear is needed, no sudden attacks of

00:35:13

his illness it is impossible not to violate not to take away this is

00:35:17

our only lifelong asset

00:35:20

for which there is no need to fear for the present

00:35:24

us, always only one day and not even

00:35:27

a day, but its separate moment, but the past

00:35:31

days are all yours,

00:35:32

they are at the first order, they will

00:35:35

patiently stand in place for as long

00:35:38

as you have you want to

00:35:41

look at them, however, busy people can

00:35:44

never do this; a

00:35:46

calm and carefree soul is free to

00:35:49

go to any time of their life and

00:35:52

walk anywhere; the souls of busy people,

00:35:55

as if the shafts are wrapped in it, cannot help but

00:36:00

turn around and not look back, which is why

00:36:03

their life seems to fall into the abyss

00:36:06

no matter how much I pour in a barrel if there is no use in it there

00:36:09

will be nothing the opinion will

00:36:13

remain so no matter how much time you give it

00:36:17

will not be of any use because it has nothing to

00:36:20

cling to passive disheveled holey

00:36:24

souls but falls through without holding on

00:36:27

present time the shortest moment is so

00:36:31

short that some do not recognize him at all

00:36:35

existence it always flows

00:36:38

moves forward with dizzying

00:36:40

speed passes without having time to come

00:36:43

and also does not tolerate stopping like the world and

00:36:46

its luminaries, knowing no rest with their

00:36:50

gyration, never

00:36:52

stopping in one place, so

00:36:56

for busy people there is

00:36:58

exclusively only the present tense,

00:37:00

short to the point of elusiveness, however, even

00:37:05

it is taken away from them, who are always busy with

00:37:07

many things at the same time, how short

00:37:11

they live, you can’t believe it, look for yourself how

00:37:15

passionately they all yearn to live long,

00:37:19

decrepit old people at any cost try to

00:37:21

beg for themselves at least a few more years and

00:37:24

indulge in all sorts of tricks

00:37:26

just to look younger; moreover, they

00:37:30

succeed and to deceive themselves, they so

00:37:32

persistently instill pleasant

00:37:35

lies in themselves, as if they were hoping to deceive them for

00:37:38

death, and when illness or weakness

00:37:43

finally reminds them of their mortality,

00:37:45

with what fears they die, as if they were not

00:37:48

leaving life, but someone was

00:37:51

tearing them out by force and they were crying to read the snake

00:37:55

they say they were the same fools that they didn’t live

00:37:57

earlier, they swear if only you

00:38:01

climb out of this illness, they will devote the

00:38:04

rest of their lives to

00:38:05

leisure, and for the first time then the thought occurs to them

00:38:09

that all their labors were

00:38:12

in vain, that over the course of their entire life they have only

00:38:15

accumulated unnecessary goods that they will never

00:38:18

have time to use but for those whose life

00:38:21

flows away from worries, it is truly

00:38:24

lengthy; it is not given at the

00:38:28

disposal of others; it is not scattered on one or

00:38:31

another and does not go to fortune; it is

00:38:34

not lost through negligence; it is not

00:38:37

squandered through inappropriate

00:38:40

generosity; it is not wasted; all of it,

00:38:44

so to speak, is placed

00:38:47

where brings reliable income, so

00:38:52

no matter how short it turns out to be, and it’s quite

00:38:56

enough, that’s why the sage will always, without

00:39:00

delay, go towards death with a

00:39:02

firm step

00:39:04

when you haven’t come, his last hour, you

00:39:07

may ask who I call busy

00:39:11

people, not only those who can be kicked out

00:39:14

of the basilica only by pointing the dogs at them,

00:39:17

not only those whom you always see in a

00:39:20

crush, as if in a place of honor

00:39:23

surrounded by their own retinue or in a less

00:39:26

honorable place among the crowd, not

00:39:29

only those whose duties drive them out of their

00:39:31

own home, force them to happen at

00:39:34

other people’s doors, or those who are pursued by the

00:39:38

Tara spear for dishonest secret

00:39:41

profit, for this kind of business sooner or

00:39:44

later always comes out

00:39:46

as if an abscess had broken out, there

00:39:49

are people who remain busy and at

00:39:53

leisure in complete solitude in their villa

00:39:57

or on their bed, having removed themselves from people's worries,

00:40:00

they continue to be a burden to themselves;

00:40:03

their leisure time would not be more correctly called with a

00:40:06

carefree life and busy idleness,

00:40:10

can one be called carefree who

00:40:13

endlessly rearranges Corinthian vases through

00:40:16

the efforts of several crazy people

00:40:19

floating precious ones or shudders at the

00:40:22

thought that he might make the slightest

00:40:24

mistake in their arrangement? Is this leisure to rummage all

00:40:28

day long in heaps of green

00:40:32

copper pots or hang around the ring for

00:40:36

fans? looking down at the fighting

00:40:38

boys, it’s truly a shame on

00:40:42

our heads and our vices are no longer Roman,

00:40:46

or to distribute ours among the incense-paved

00:40:49

Chelyabinsk residents according to age and

00:40:52

color,

00:40:53

or to patronize the most fashionable

00:40:56

athletes, how can you call

00:40:59

endless hours spent

00:41:01

at the hairdresser plucking out everything that

00:41:05

has managed to grow as leisure? overnight, when they embark on

00:41:08

long meetings about each

00:41:11

hair,

00:41:12

when the scattered hairstyle is restored,

00:41:15

or in the absence of one, the

00:41:18

remaining hair here and there is

00:41:21

carefully combed into a bow, how

00:41:25

terrible their anger can be at the slightest

00:41:27

carelessness of the barber, if he forgets his friend

00:41:30

and imagines that he is cutting a

00:41:32

man’s hair, how quickly finished off are red-hot

00:41:35

there is no rage if the

00:41:38

excess is cut, the hushed velor if not all

00:41:42

the rings fall as they should, if at least a

00:41:45

hair is knocked out of the curl attached to it,

00:41:48

before you offer any of them to

00:41:50

choose between the destruction of his

00:41:53

state or his hairstyle, everyone without

00:41:56

hesitation will prefer the first

00:41:59

if among them there is at least one to whom the health of

00:42:03

one’s own head would be more valuable, and

00:42:06

is there such a decoration that one would

00:42:09

prefer honor alongside one another? Can you really

00:42:12

call the lives of these busy

00:42:15

people,

00:42:16

torn between the comb and the mirror, leisure, and there are

00:42:19

also those who tirelessly

00:42:22

work on composing, listening,

00:42:25

learning songs, a voice that nature

00:42:29

ordered to come out of the throat straight from it in the

00:42:31

simplest way to sound

00:42:34

best, they distort the most incredible

00:42:37

but equal to mediocre modulations of the fingers, they

00:42:41

always drum, beating out the rhythm of a mentally

00:42:44

repeated melody, and even when they are

00:42:47

absorbed in a serious and often sad

00:42:49

matter, you can hear them purring to themselves

00:42:52

some kind of tune, does such a thing have

00:42:56

leisure time? it’s more like an

00:42:58

eternally busy idleness, well, what

00:43:02

truly cannot be called free

00:43:04

time is, I swear by Hercules, and at

00:43:08

the feast, and look how concerned their faces are

00:43:12

when they check in what order

00:43:15

the silver is laid out on the table, how much

00:43:18

attention and patience it requires tossing

00:43:21

boys lovers so that the horizontal bar,

00:43:24

God forbid was not longer than necessary what

00:43:28

terrible tension what torment of

00:43:31

uncertainty

00:43:32

how the cook will get a wild boar

00:43:35

what speed do beardless servants fly according to a given

00:43:38

sign with what

00:43:41

incomparable skill

00:43:44

a bird is cut into pieces so that the portions do not turn out to be

00:43:47

too large with what care the

00:43:50

unfortunate little boys

00:43:52

instantly wipe up the vomit api lice of

00:43:55

their guests, but all this is arranged

00:43:59

only for the sake of being considered refined

00:44:01

and generous in all their life

00:44:04

activities; they are so slaves of

00:44:06

vanity that they no longer eat or drink except

00:44:10

for

00:44:12

show. Don’t think of classifying as unemployed

00:44:15

people those who do not take a single step without

00:44:18

briefcase and stretcher, who observes the hours of

00:44:22

their daily walks as if to

00:44:25

break their blasphemy,

00:44:27

who only learns from others when they need

00:44:31

you, when to swim, when to dine, whose

00:44:35

reduced souls have become so weak and

00:44:37

withered

00:44:38

that they themselves cannot find out whether

00:44:40

they are hungry or not, they say

00:44:44

that one of

00:44:46

I don’t know these sissies, however, there is a lot of effort in unlearning the

00:44:48

simplest habits of

00:44:51

human life when he was carried out

00:44:54

of the bathhouse in his arms and sat in a chair, he asked,

00:44:56

I’m already sitting,

00:44:58

but if he doesn’t know if he’s sitting, then

00:45:01

how can he know if he’s alive, if

00:45:05

he can see something and whether he enjoys leisure

00:45:07

or is burdened with worries, I even find it difficult

00:45:10

to say in which case and I sympathize with him more

00:45:13

if he really did not know

00:45:15

or

00:45:16

if he pretended not to know, they

00:45:20

really forget many things, but

00:45:23

often of course they pretend to have

00:45:25

forgotten some shortcomings they like

00:45:29

since they are considered evidence of the

00:45:31

happy life of their owner, knowing what

00:45:35

you are doing has become for them apparently a sign of a

00:45:38

low and despicable person, so

00:45:42

think after this that they are

00:45:45

inventing and exaggerating a lot, wanting to

00:45:47

ridicule the passion for luxury,

00:45:49

I swear by Hercules, they rather

00:45:51

downplay I don’t know many details,

00:45:54

our age is gifted with a single talent

00:45:58

to improve in vices, he invented

00:46:01

so many new and incredible ones that

00:46:04

we can finally even accuse memes of

00:46:07

sluggishness, so this means that if a

00:46:11

person has gone so far in effeminacy

00:46:14

that, wanting to find out whether he is sitting, he is

00:46:16

forced to rely on the words of another,

00:46:19

of course he will not be called without,

00:46:22

here something else is more suitable name

00:46:24

sick or even dead carefree one

00:46:29

who is aware of his leisure and absence

00:46:31

name this half-corpse needs a pointer

00:46:35

and even in order to understand what

00:46:38

position his body is in, how

00:46:41

can he be the master of even an insignificant

00:46:44

time; however, list in turn

00:46:48

everyone whose life is spent on playing with pebbles

00:46:51

or a ball or

00:46:54

frying their body in the sun every day for too

00:46:57

long; none of those who are always busy

00:47:00

satisfying their desires know

00:47:03

leisure;

00:47:04

however, there is a category of people about whom

00:47:08

no one usually doubts that

00:47:11

they are really not busy with any

00:47:13

business

00:47:15

being completely absorbed in worries and studying

00:47:17

useless sciences, lately there have been a lot of people of

00:47:21

this type

00:47:22

and time divorced.

00:47:25

Initially, this disease appeared among the

00:47:27

Greeks, they suddenly rushed to investigate

00:47:31

how many oarsmen were on the ships of Ulysses, what

00:47:34

was written before the Iliad and the

00:47:37

Odyssey and they had one author or

00:47:40

different ones, etc. in the same way, one of those

00:47:43

things that will give nothing to your soul

00:47:46

and mind, if you keep them to yourself,

00:47:49

if you say them out loud, then you will be

00:47:52

considered not a scientist but an annoying bore,

00:47:56

now the Romans have been seized by a

00:47:58

senseless passion for studying a

00:48:02

useless thing these days I listened to one

00:48:05

report about which of the Roman leaders did what

00:48:10

for the first time, I learned that the ghouls were

00:48:13

the first to win a naval battle, accurate

00:48:17

and the first to lead elephants in a triumphal

00:48:20

procession, well, okay, this is all, although it

00:48:23

has nothing to do with true glory, it

00:48:26

still revolves around civilian samples

00:48:29

actions, such knowledge will

00:48:31

of course not bring any benefit, but

00:48:33

at least there is something

00:48:35

attractive for us, essentially

00:48:38

empty, petty, but brilliant, curious,

00:48:41

perhaps there is nothing reprehensible in

00:48:44

such research, for example, who was

00:48:46

the first to convince the Romans to board the ship,

00:48:49

it was Claudius, which is why those who

00:48:52

received the nickname

00:48:53

dex after all, in the old days the word caudex

00:48:58

was used to describe

00:48:59

boards that were fitted and connected to each other, which is where

00:49:02

the name of the tablets on which

00:49:05

public decrees were written,

00:49:07

codes,

00:49:08

in addition, and ships delivering cargo

00:49:11

up the type, we still retain the

00:49:13

ancient name for savages is not without,

00:49:17

of course, the well-known interesting fact that

00:49:19

Valery Corvin was the first took miso and

00:49:23

appropriated the name of the defeated city for himself, the

00:49:26

first, like Valeriev, began to be called

00:49:29

Miss, over time, due to the fact that people

00:49:32

mixed up the letters, this name gradually

00:49:34

turned into my soul,

00:49:36

but is it worth it in your opinion to devote energy to

00:49:39

finding out what is better and Sulla was

00:49:42

the first to release unrelated ones in the circus

00:49:45

lions which were supposed to be finished off by

00:49:47

arrows sent by the tsar, and before

00:49:50

this the lion was always shown only on a

00:49:53

leash, no, of course, this is also quite

00:49:57

possible to do, but I knew that it was

00:49:59

Pompeii who was the first to organize battles in the circus

00:50:02

in which twenty-two elephants

00:50:05

opposed condemned

00:50:07

criminals and were obliged to fight

00:50:09

for real what good can

00:50:13

such research give the

00:50:14

first among citizens who distinguished themselves among the

00:50:17

great people of antiquity, if you believe

00:50:20

the rumor of exceptional kindness, invented

00:50:23

a new hitherto unprecedented method of

00:50:25

destroying people, deciding that it would be a

00:50:29

wonderful spectacle to force them

00:50:32

to kill each other,

00:50:33

little to tear into pieces, little to rub their belly

00:50:38

into powder with our feet

00:50:40

these giants should have been consigned to

00:50:43

oblivion

00:50:44

so that such an inhumane deed would not become known to

00:50:47

some powerful descendant and,

00:50:50

overwhelmed by envy, would not even think of

00:50:53

outdoing the rare impenetrable

00:50:57

darkness that envelops our souls, great

00:51:00

happiness in those days throws crowds of

00:51:03

unfortunates doomed at the feet

00:51:06

of a foreign monster, organizing a

00:51:09

battle for fun between breeds of animal beings so unequal in

00:51:11

strength,

00:51:12

shedding

00:51:16

streams of blood in front of the eyes of the Roman people

00:51:18

in order to force this

00:51:21

people to shed even more of their own

00:51:24

blood in those days, Pompey believed himself

00:51:27

exalted above the very nature of things,

00:51:31

but time passed and the same Pompey

00:51:35

was deceived by the Alexandrian treachery

00:51:38

put the throat of the last of the slaves under the knife for

00:51:41

the first time I probably realized that

00:51:44

his nickname was just an empty boast,

00:51:48

but I digress, I wanted to show

00:51:51

you how empty the

00:51:54

most conscientious scientific pursuits can be, and so the

00:51:58

same investigator discovered that

00:52:01

metal celebrates triumph after defeating

00:52:04

fingers in Sicily was the first and

00:52:07

only of the Romans who led

00:52:10

120 captured elephants from the enemy in front of his chariot,

00:52:13

that Sulla was the

00:52:16

last of the Romans who survived Pompeii,

00:52:19

which in ancient times was the

00:52:22

engine of the conquest and

00:52:24

Dalian field of non-provincial lands,

00:52:27

however, this probably does not prevent you from knowing in

00:52:30

any case this is more useful than the

00:52:32

same author’s idea about

00:52:34

why the Aventine remained outside the city;

00:52:38

he indicates two possible reasons:

00:52:41

firstly, that the plebs were retiring on this hill;

00:52:44

secondly, that at the spokes of the temple the

00:52:47

birds were not ordered to choose this place; all

00:52:51

further he has written in that in the same way,

00:52:53

countless fables containing either

00:52:57

pure lies or something very close to it,

00:53:00

however, even if we assume that you can

00:53:03

believe every word of such authors and

00:53:06

everything that is gritty corresponds to

00:53:09

reality, that from the one they

00:53:12

put on the true path, whom they will deliver from the

00:53:16

power of passions, whom they will make more

00:53:18

courageous, fair, generous our

00:53:22

Fabian often said that it would

00:53:24

probably be better to give up scientific pursuits altogether

00:53:28

than to engage in such nonsense;

00:53:30

only those of the people who have

00:53:33

time for wisdom have leisure;

00:53:36

they are the only ones and they live;

00:53:44

and

00:53:46

making everything else our property in all

00:53:50

the years that have passed before them, if we have not

00:53:54

yet completely lost the ability to accept

00:53:56

blessings, then it was for us that the

00:53:59

illustrious creators of

00:54:02

sacred teachings were born,

00:54:03

they prepared us for life, they

00:54:07

lead us to a treasure

00:54:10

that someone else dug up and carried out of the

00:54:13

darkness with a lover

00:54:14

there is no century in the world where it would be forbidden to

00:54:17

enter, everywhere the path is free for us and as soon as

00:54:21

we want to break the

00:54:24

narrow framework of human weakness with the power of our spirit, we will have at

00:54:26

our disposal

00:54:29

huge spaces of time

00:54:32

for walking we can argue with Socrates

00:54:37

doubt with carni Adam enjoy

00:54:40

peace for ourselves chickens to win human

00:54:43

nature with racks

00:54:45

or go beyond its limits with dates,

00:54:48

since the nature of things allows us to enter

00:54:51

into communication with any age, then

00:54:54

why don’t we turn with all our souls

00:54:57

from this insignificant fleeting

00:55:00

transitional fragment of time which

00:55:03

is called the present to the immeasurable forever

00:55:06

where we are also together with the best of

00:55:10

people are the people who are always running around on

00:55:13

business, giving no rest to themselves or others,

00:55:17

let us assume that they will give full rein to

00:55:20

their madness and begin to

00:55:23

knock on the threshold of all Roman houses every day without

00:55:26

missing a single screwdriver door,

00:55:28

spreading their paid morning

00:55:31

greetings decisively to all ends of

00:55:34

the city as Do you think most or part of

00:55:38

this monstrous crowded city,

00:55:40

sorted by a variety of wishes,

00:55:43

will they be able to see from how many

00:55:47

doors will their drowsiness be driven away by the

00:55:50

arrogant luxury or impoliteness of

00:55:53

the owners?

00:56:07

clients of the arteries will slowly

00:56:10

slip out through the back door, as if to

00:56:13

deceive more politely than not to let them in on the threshold,

00:56:16

and how much to meet these unfortunate people,

00:56:20

always sleep-deprived, just to have time to

00:56:23

awaken other people, half asleep with a

00:56:26

heavy hangover from yesterday,

00:56:29

who will answer the name

00:56:32

a hundred times called to him most respectfully in a

00:56:34

whisper only in the most arrogant with a yawn,

00:56:38

I think if you allow me to say

00:56:42

that I think that

00:56:45

only those who strive every day

00:56:48

to become as close as possible to their

00:56:52

people among Zeno, Pythagoras, Democritus and

00:56:55

other outstanding masters, the

00:56:58

truth of the good arts, who want to become

00:57:01

close to Aristotle and deaf growth,

00:57:04

none of them, are engaged in real work will show you the door for

00:57:07

lack of time,

00:57:09

everyone who comes to them will leave,

00:57:11

happy with

00:57:13

your points for them with even greater love, not a

00:57:16

single guest will leave their hands in the desert

00:57:19

at any time of the day or night, their doors

00:57:23

are open to any mortal, not one of

00:57:27

them will force you to death,

00:57:29

but each will teach you how to die, none of them

00:57:32

will steal your years from you, but each will

00:57:35

willingly add theirs to you; there is not a

00:57:39

single one among them; a frank conversation with anyone would be

00:57:41

dangerous; friendship could cost your head; if

00:57:51

you want, if you learn from them less

00:57:54

than you could accommodate, it won’t be their

00:57:57

fault, what happiness, what a wonderful

00:58:00

old age awaits the one who gives himself under

00:58:05

their protection, he will have someone

00:58:07

to talk about little things with, and about the most important things, he

00:58:11

will have someone to consult with every day and

00:58:14

his own in affairs, there will be someone to hear the

00:58:17

truth from without reproach and praise without flattery,

00:58:20

there will be someone to imitate.

00:58:22

We often say that choosing

00:58:25

parents is not in our power, that the lot of

00:58:29

our birth is random, but in fact,

00:58:32

we are free to decide at our own discretion

00:58:34

where to be born, there are families

00:58:38

of the noblest minds and talents,

00:58:41

choose which family you want to become

00:58:43

a member of, thanks to adoption, you

00:58:47

will acquire not only a name, you will become

00:58:49

the heir of the entire family property, but

00:58:51

this is a wealth that you will not

00:58:54

have to guard, turning cruelly into a

00:58:57

merchant;

00:58:58

the more

00:59:01

people among whom it will be shared, your

00:59:06

new relatives will show you the road to

00:59:09

eternity will help to rise to that peak

00:59:11

from which no one falls anywhere; this is the

00:59:15

only way to prolong our

00:59:18

mortal age; moreover, to

00:59:20

turn it into immortality; honors;

00:59:25

monuments; state decrees;

00:59:28

which ambition has achieved;

00:59:37

and turning into

00:59:41

ruins, but that which is illuminated by wisdom is

00:59:45

invulnerable to old age, no matter how much

00:59:49

bykova passes, but does not dim, does not

00:59:51

decrease, on the contrary,

00:59:53

with each century his words grow,

00:59:57

for it is close and always the object of envy of

01:00:01

those who are distant, it is easier to admire, and so the life of a

01:00:06

sage lasts a long time, he is not confined

01:00:10

within that same earthly period that

01:00:13

other mortals are

01:00:14

not bound by the laws of the human race

01:00:17

all centuries serve him like a god

01:00:22

some time passes he retains it in his

01:00:26

memories some grows he

01:00:29

uses it some must come he

01:00:32

anticipates it in advance but this is the union of

01:00:35

all times at the same time and makes his life

01:00:39

long the shortest restless life

01:00:43

happens to people who do not remember

01:00:46

the past, neglect the present and

01:00:49

fear the future

01:00:52

when the end comes, the unfortunate ones

01:00:55

realize too late that they have been busy all their lives

01:00:58

but did absolutely nothing,

01:01:01

please don’t think that if they

01:01:04

themselves sometimes call death proves that

01:01:07

they have lived a long life; nothing

01:01:10

like this is simply due to lack of understanding; they

01:01:13

often themselves do not know what they want and

01:01:16

they rush towards

01:01:18

what they are afraid of so often, and

01:01:22

they call for death precisely because they are

01:01:25

afraid and more than anything else in the world, don’t even

01:01:28

think about it, and also consider it a sign of

01:01:31

longevity this is

01:01:32

that for many of them the day often seems

01:01:36

prohibitively long

01:01:38

and they complain that they can’t wait until

01:01:40

lunch hour, the

01:01:42

fact is that as soon as they stop

01:01:46

being always busy and find themselves at rest,

01:01:49

they cannot find a place for themselves, they do not know

01:01:53

how to manage their leisure time, how

01:01:56

to sustain it

01:01:57

and so they begin to look for

01:02:00

something to do for themselves, and every break

01:02:04

in between is not a burden, so that I

01:02:07

swear by Hercules they would dream of simply

01:02:10

jumping over in a few days if, for

01:02:12

example, the day of gladiatorial games is announced

01:02:15

or the date of another long-awaited

01:02:18

spectacle or pleasure is set,

01:02:21

the time separating them from the fulfillment of their

01:02:23

desires seems they are in exorbitant debts, but the

01:02:28

sweet time for them flies by with

01:02:31

dizzying speed, shortening it

01:02:33

even due to their own fault, they are unable to

01:02:37

remain true to their own passion, they are

01:02:40

always jumping from one desire to

01:02:43

another,

01:02:44

the day for them is not so long as it

01:02:47

is hateful, but how short the nights seem to them

01:02:51

spent in the arms of a [ __ ] or drinking

01:02:54

wine, this is where the blasphemous and

01:02:58

insane invention came from, which is why Jupiter, in

01:03:02

the end, intoxicated by the pleasures of love,

01:03:05

lengthened the night twice the food of poetic

01:03:09

myths, human delusions, apparently

01:03:14

the only goal that does not pursue is

01:03:17

to fan the fire of our vices more strongly, for

01:03:20

what else can this lead to the gods the

01:03:24

invention of all our

01:03:27

abominations is attributed and any human

01:03:29

depravity is overshadowed by divine

01:03:32

authority and receives an apology and

01:03:35

justification, and how can people not

01:03:38

find the nights

01:03:40

bought at such a high price too short,

01:03:43

waiting for the night kills their day, the fear

01:03:47

of dawn destroys their night, even

01:03:50

their pleasure is filled with anxiety and various

01:03:53

fears the moment of highest delight they are

01:03:57

poisoned by the restless thought of how long this will

01:04:00

last,

01:04:01

it was precisely this feeling that made the kings

01:04:04

mourn their power, they were no longer

01:04:07

happy with the happiness bestowed by fate, but the

01:04:11

coming end was indescribably terrifying;

01:04:24

cried that, they say, not even

01:04:26

100 years would pass before out of a thousand of these

01:04:29

chosen

01:04:30

necks there would be not a single one left, but

01:04:34

he himself was shedding tears and led them towards

01:04:38

his hand, he himself was so worried about what

01:04:42

would happen to them in a hundred years, he destroyed them

01:04:46

all within a few months some in

01:04:49

the sea, some on land, some in battle, some in

01:04:51

flight, but aren’t all their joys

01:04:54

mixed with fear and anxiety,

01:04:56

because they are not generated by solid

01:05:00

reasons, about insignificant vanity, which

01:05:03

then poisons them, but even if in

01:05:07

those moments when delight in their words

01:05:10

rises them to unearthly heights they

01:05:13

can experience pure joy without an

01:05:15

admixture of fear, then think about what

01:05:18

the times that they themselves call

01:05:21

unhappy should be like: the greater the good, the greater the

01:05:25

anxiety associated with it; the more complete the

01:05:29

happiness, the less you can rely on it;

01:05:38

Why did you make a sacrifice? You need to

01:05:40

quickly make a sacrifice for this fulfillment, and

01:05:43

so on endlessly, everything that you got

01:05:46

thanks to luck is fragile, the higher

01:05:49

chance raises you, the easier it is to fall, but who

01:05:53

will be happy about the fact that at any moment you

01:05:55

can fall? This means that not only the

01:05:59

shortest but the shortest In an unhappy life,

01:06:02

people live with great effort,

01:06:05

obtaining wealth for themselves, the

01:06:07

possession of which will require even greater work from them,

01:06:12

every effort is made to achieve what

01:06:15

they want, and then how much anxiety to

01:06:17

maintain what has been achieved,

01:06:19

meanwhile, the irrevocably passing time is

01:06:22

not taken into account at all;

01:06:26

old things have not yet been completed as already new ones have appeared,

01:06:28

one ambitious plan gives birth to

01:06:32

another,

01:06:33

hope leads to hope, but we are not

01:06:36

trying to put an end to our misfortune,

01:06:39

we are only filling them with new content,

01:06:43

we are exhausted trying to achieve honorary

01:06:46

positions for ourselves,

01:06:47

now we are spending even more time trying to achieve

01:06:50

for others,

01:06:51

we have not yet managed to get rid of the painful steering

01:06:54

wheel and candidate we are

01:06:55

starting to collect votes for someone, we

01:06:58

haven’t had time to breathe a sigh of relief, having laid down the

01:07:01

duties of the prosecutor on the judicial

01:07:05

powers are already right there

01:07:06

and who will cease to be a judge, you see, has already

01:07:10

been appointed as an investigator or chairman of

01:07:13

the court, so the person has become involved in managing the

01:07:17

property of others for a salary, now the concern is

01:07:20

actually accumulated for all these years of

01:07:23

wealth and there is no rest for him, mavi did not have time to

01:07:27

take off his soldier’s boots and the consulate

01:07:30

demands all his strength and attention

01:07:33

Quincy and is in a hurry to lay down a

01:07:36

dictatorship they are already calling him to return to the club as soon as possible,

01:07:40

but Scipio and he is not yet old enough

01:07:44

for such matters he will go to according to it, cypher

01:07:46

the conqueror of Hannibal the conqueror of Antiochus

01:07:49

decoration of his own consulate

01:07:51

guarantor his brother he would have been elevated

01:07:55

to the throne next to Jupiter if he himself

01:07:58

had not died popular delight, but civil

01:08:02

strife will not give rest to the savior and

01:08:04

instead of honors not inferior to the

01:08:07

divine ones, the contemptuously rejected

01:08:10

young man will get only one

01:08:12

the joy of

01:08:13

being proud of your stubbornness is expelled, you will

01:08:17

never have any shortcomings, reasons

01:08:19

for concern,

01:08:20

be it fear for your current happiness or of

01:08:23

impending misfortune, one concern

01:08:27

will continue to push life towards another, the ever-

01:08:31

desired leisure will never come, so

01:08:35

you rummaged, and finally, from the human

01:08:37

whirlpool, the reflecting peacock will return

01:08:41

in a quiet harbor

01:08:42

and so carried you along the waves longer than

01:08:45

you would be befitting of your age, remember

01:08:49

how many times you were caught at sea by

01:08:51

bad weather, how many home grosses you had to

01:08:54

wait for, how many social

01:08:57

pulses the twist caused to you, believe me, through

01:09:00

numerous labors, worries and anxieties,

01:09:03

you have already fully proven your virtue it’s

01:09:07

time to experience what it’s worth in your leisure time,

01:09:11

even if the largest and best part of life

01:09:13

is given to the state, but take at least some part of the

01:09:16

time that belongs to you for

01:09:18

yourself. I don’t encourage you to

01:09:21

lazy

01:09:22

and inactive rest, I don’t want you to

01:09:25

fall into slumber

01:09:26

or drown your living gifts dear

01:09:30

crowd of pleasures, this is not what I call

01:09:33

peace, no, great things await you, more than

01:09:38

anyone else, for which you have achieved so far with

01:09:41

your characteristic cheerfulness and zeal, you

01:09:44

will take care of them far from the worries of human

01:09:47

vanity, you will lose money accounts from

01:09:51

all over the globe, disinterestedly, as if they were

01:09:53

strangers, carefully, as if

01:09:56

seeing your own in their sacred duty, as if

01:09:59

not public, you have earned yourself love

01:10:02

by occupying such a position in which rarely does

01:10:04

anyone manage to avoid hatred, and yet

01:10:08

believe me, it is better to sum up your

01:10:11

own life than to procure

01:10:14

state grain, your spirit is full of

01:10:17

life and vigor, it is capable of even the

01:10:20

greatest achievements, so free

01:10:23

it from the service she is honorable, no doubt,

01:10:26

but little suitable for a blissful life,

01:10:30

she will think about whether you devoted

01:10:32

your zeal from an early age to the study of the liberal sciences

01:10:35

so that now you can take care of the safety of

01:10:38

many thousands of pounds of wheat;

01:10:50

you won’t be there slow heavy trucks are

01:10:53

much more suitable for transporting

01:10:56

goods than blood stallions

01:10:59

who will put a lot of weight on

01:11:02

thoroughbred horses and here’s something else

01:11:05

think about how much worry and anxiety

01:11:09

is added to the already heavy burden

01:11:12

that you have shouldered because you

01:11:15

have to deal directly the

01:11:18

human stomach

01:11:20

and the hungry people do not listen for a long time the ancient

01:11:24

justifies the innocent is not softened by

01:11:27

pleas for mercy just recently in those

01:11:31

days when Guy Caesar died, the

01:11:34

state granaries were used up so

01:11:36

much that there was enough bread left for

01:11:38

some 78 days if the dead

01:11:42

can feel anything, how he

01:11:44

must have suffered poor thing, that the Roman

01:11:46

people

01:11:47

still took care of him while he was building bridges

01:11:51

from cargo ships, turning the power of the

01:11:54

empire into toys, the

01:11:57

worst disaster even for those

01:11:59

condemned by the enemy was approaching, lack of

01:12:01

food while he was building bridges from

01:12:04

cargo ships, turning the power of the empire

01:12:06

into toys, the worst disaster was approaching

01:12:10

for those besieged by the

01:12:12

enemy lack of food,

01:12:17

imitation of a mad foreigner by the king,

01:12:20

which ruined my pride, I almost cost

01:12:23

us hunger and death and the base by famine

01:12:26

would inevitably have followed the collapse of everything

01:12:28

and everyone.

01:12:29

How must the

01:12:32

people who were entrusted with the care of the

01:12:36

state grain reserves have felt in those days, because they were

01:12:39

threatened by stones swords and fire and Guy himself,

01:12:42

calling for help with all their pretense,

01:12:45

they hid a monstrous illness that had already

01:12:47

struck the insides of the state, and

01:12:50

this was the reason: some diseases should be

01:12:53

treated without telling them to the patient; many

01:12:56

died from the fact that they found out what they were sick with;

01:13:00

I’ll quickly give it up and go to

01:13:03

quiet, safe affairs great, do

01:13:06

you really care whether you continue

01:13:08

to care that the grain

01:13:11

is delivered to warehouses without losses, not

01:13:14

stolen by scammers, not lost by lazy people,

01:13:16

so that

01:13:19

the bottom of April does not get wet, so that

01:13:22

its weight and volume are accurately removed, or will you

01:13:25

begin to study sacred higher

01:13:28

objects? and you will find out what the matter of God is,

01:13:30

his will, his

01:13:32

state, his form, what fate awaits

01:13:35

your soul, where will nature go for us

01:13:40

when it is freed from the body, what is the power

01:13:43

to hold the heaviest parts of this

01:13:46

world in the middle, the lungs hang over

01:13:49

them, and above all, fire lifts and

01:13:52

makes the luminary move each with

01:13:54

its own along the way and many other things are filled with

01:13:58

unimaginable miracles, do

01:13:59

n’t you want to leave the earth and

01:14:03

direct your spiritual gaze up there

01:14:06

right now, before the blood has cooled and your

01:14:09

strength has not dried up, you

01:14:10

must go in search of something better, I

01:14:13

offer you a kind of life

01:14:15

where numerous noble arts await you,

01:14:19

love of virtue and practical

01:14:22

application, oblivion of you, desire to know

01:14:25

life and death, deep peace,

01:14:29

the fate of all busy people is worthy of

01:14:32

pity,

01:14:33

but the most pitiful lot goes to those who are

01:14:37

busy even with their own affairs, who fall asleep while

01:14:39

striving for someone else's sleep, walks, stroking

01:14:43

under someone else's step, who even loves and hates

01:14:46

at the behest, although already in this, it would seem that

01:14:50

everyone is free, if they wanted to find out

01:14:54

how short life is, they

01:14:57

would only need to estimate what part of it

01:14:58

belongs to them, so don’t envy when

01:15:02

you see it for the first time in the text

01:15:05

when you hear the name famous on the forum,

01:15:08

these things are obtained at the cost of your own

01:15:12

life people are ready to waste all their years so

01:15:15

that one and only one will be called by their

01:15:19

name, others do not have time to get to the

01:15:22

top whose pure love calls them,

01:15:24

life leaves them when they just

01:15:27

began to fight their way to the top in a fierce struggle,

01:15:30

others, having made their way through thousands of

01:15:33

dishonorable meannesses, still break through to the

01:15:36

heights of honor and glory and only then a

01:15:40

sad thought dawns on them

01:15:42

all the hardships they endured just for the sake of

01:15:45

gravestone inscriptions, some

01:15:47

in their declining years illuminate their

01:15:50

future with radiant hopes,

01:15:52

confusing old age with youth and decrepit forces

01:15:56

betray them in the midst of new shamelessly

01:15:58

grandiose enterprises, a vile old man

01:16:02

giving up the ghost in the middle of a court

01:16:04

hearing,

01:16:05

sort out hq most insignificant conscripts

01:16:08

greedily catching the approval of clueless

01:16:12

spectators, shame on the one who dies in the line of

01:16:15

duty, tired

01:16:17

of life before working off

01:16:21

the shame on the one who is sent to the next world,

01:16:24

sitting with protective books to ridicule from

01:16:28

there, Lena Mu, waiting for the heir, I can’t help but

01:16:31

give another example that has just

01:16:33

arrived I have a guide in my head that he had

01:16:36

previously been an old man of rare accuracy,

01:16:39

but when he exceeded 90 years, Caesar

01:16:43

released him from the procurator sky

01:16:45

position without asking for it on his

01:16:47

part, then Turney ordered him to lay

01:16:51

himself on his deathbed and mourn with the whole

01:16:54

house as a deceased person and the household

01:16:58

gathered around

01:16:59

they cried that their elderly owner

01:17:02

finally had the opportunity to rest

01:17:04

and the mourning did not end until the

01:17:08

old man was reinstated at work, is it really

01:17:11

so pleasant

01:17:13

to die busy, but that’s how

01:17:17

most people are made, they crave to work

01:17:19

longer than they can, they

01:17:22

struggle with bodily pain weakness and

01:17:25

old age itself are only a burden to them because

01:17:29

the law does not allow them to work, they are not drafted into the army after 50, they are not

01:17:33

appointed by the Senate after 60, it is

01:17:37

easier for people to get leisure for themselves from the law than from

01:17:40

themselves, but for now they don’t have enough of what they can

01:17:44

and become someone else’s prey for now.

01:17:47

they don’t give each other peace while they make their hands

01:17:50

unhappy, meanwhile life passes by,

01:17:53

barren, joyless, useless for the

01:17:56

soul, no one thinks about death, everyone

01:18:00

pushes their hopes far ahead, and

01:18:03

some try to run their

01:18:05

plans completely beyond life,

01:18:08

take care of huge tombstones, the

01:18:11

consecration of public buildings, and

01:18:14

gifts who will be laid in

01:18:16

Description:

Луций Анней Сенека - О скоротечности жизни Большинство смертных жалуется, Паулин, на коварство природы: дескать, рождаемся мы так ненадолго и отведенное нам время пролетает так скоро, что, за исключением разве что немногих, мы уходим из жизни, еще не успев к ней как следует подготовиться. Нет, не мало времени мы имеем, а много теряем. Жизнь дана нам достаточно долгая, и ее с избытком хватит на свершение величайших дел, если распределитьее с умом. Но если она не направляется доброю целью, если наша расточительность и небрежность позволяют ей утекать у нас меж пальцев, то когда пробьет наш последний час, мы с удивлением обнаруживаем, что жизнь, течения которой мы не заметили, истекла. ________________ • Телеграмм → https://t.me/thenext_worlds • футболка с нашей символикой → https://next-world.creator-spring.com/ • футболка на Spring → https://next-world.creator-spring.com/ • футболка на Spreadshop → https://next-world.myspreadshop.nl/ ________________
