📝 The story behind the little key
A Stoic philosopher
Seneca was one of the best-known thinkers of Stoic philosophy in ancient Rome, writing letters and essays on how to live a good, reasoned, and meaningful life.
On the shortness of life
His famous essay argued that people complain life is short while wasting much of it — that time feels scarce only because we spend it carelessly on things that don't matter.
A message that lasted
Two thousand years later, Seneca's writings on time, focus, and what truly matters are still read and quoted around the world.
