August 23rd Reading from The Daily Stoic - It's In Your Self-Interest


"Therefore, explain why a wise person shouldn't get drunk - not with words, but by the facts of its ugliness and offensiveness. It's most easy to prove that so-called pleasures, when they go beyond proper measure, are but punishments."

~ Seneca, Moral Letters, 83.27
