Lo scrittore e filosofo romano Lucius Annaeus Seneca nacque a Cordoba nell’anno 4 a.C. probabilmente il 21 maggio.
⚪️ “Ignoranti quem portum petat nullus suus ventus est.”
⚫️ “Nessun vento è favorevole per il marinaio che non sa a quale porto vuol approdare”
🔴 “When someone does not know to which port he is steering, no wind is favourable.”
⚪️ “Vita sine proposito vaga est.”
⚫️ “La vita, senza una meta, è vagabondaggio.”
🔴 “Life without purpose is erratic.”
⚪️ “In tria tempora vita dividitur: quod fuit, quod est, quod futurum est. Ex his quod agimus breve est, quod acturi sumus dubium, quod egimus certum.”
⚫️ “La vita si divide in tre tempi: passato, presente, futuro. Di questi, il momento che stiamo vivendo è breve, quello che ancora dobbiamo vivere non è sicuro, quello che già abbiamo vissuto è certo. “
🔴“Life is divided into three periods: what was, what is, what is going to be.
Of these, the moment we are facing is short, what we still have to live is not sure, what we have already experienced is certain.”
⚪️ “Ego tibi monstrabo amatorium sine medicamento, sine herba, sine ullius veneficae carmine: si vis amari, ama”.
⚫️ “Ti rivelerò un filtro amoroso, senza unguenti, senza erbe, senza formule magiche: se vuoi essere amato, ama”.
🔴 “I can show you a love filter without drugs, herbs, or any magic formula: if you want to be loved, love.”

Yes, he was one of those philosophers that knew much more about the life then the others that experience the life only through metaphysics…

Splendido post! Un inno alla Vita!
Come mi ritrovo nelle sue parole “la vita senza una meta è vagabondaggio”
La mia amata nonna con le sue carezze mi sussurrava: ” Ricordati piccola…sogniamo grandi sogni perché sappiamo di esistere!”
Poi in “ti rivelerò un filtro amoroso, senza unguenti, senza erbe, senza formule magiche: se vuoi essere amato, ama”
E qui vive il segreto della mia felicità e del perché vivo con persone che realmente mi vogliono bene…
Perché io amo e il dialogo sull’amore continua
un caro saluto
