August 26th Reading from The Daily Stoic (Round 2) - "Seeking Out Shipwrecks"

"I was shipwrecked before I even boarded . . . the journey showed me this - how much of what we have is unnecessary, and how easily we can decide to rid ourselves of these things whenever it's necessary, never suffering the loss."

~ Seneca, Moral Letters, 87.1

This speaks to me very literally right now, as we declutter our house in preparation for a possible move to a new home - how much of what we have is unnecessary! How easily we can decide to rid ourselves of these things!
