On the Shortness of Life

Seneca the Younger · 2005 · 105 pages

2 people have this book on the record — 1 of 2 verdicts positive. The dissent stays on the page.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Jason Evanish disliked it affiliate
While it's only 40 pages, it could have been 4 pages. Basically, many die but few truly live. Don't waste your life – 1) Wishing for Tomorrow, 2) Drifting without presence in the moment, 3) Chasing celebrity which is a curse once you have it, 4) Living in the past, missing what you can do going forward. 8. Lincoln the Unknown by Dale Carnegie (9.30.18)

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
