September 25th Reading from The Daily Stoic (Round 2) - "The Vulnerability of Dependence"

"Show me someone who isn't a slave! One is a slave to lust, another to greed, another to power, and all are slaves to fear. I could name a former Consul who is a slave to a little old woman, a millionaire who is the slave of the cleaning woman . . . No servitude is more abject than the self-imposed."
~ Seneca, Moral Letters, 47.17
