April 15th Reading from The Daily Stoic (Round 2) - Pay Your Taxes

"Nothing will ever befall me that I will receive with gloom or bad disposition. I will pay my taxes gladly. Now, all the things which which cause complaint or dread are like the taxes of life- things from which, my dear Lucilius, you should never hope for exemption or seek escape."

~ Seneca, Moral Letters, 96.2

Ironically, in this time of Covid-19, THIS April 15th is the day that many citizens of the United States are receiving tax money back as "economic stimulus" . . . strange times!
