About Letters from a stoic.
+++++++++++++++++++++
The Letter from a Stoic is a collection of 124 letters that Seneca the Younger wrote to Lucilius Junior.

The letters often begin with an observation of daily life, and then proceed to an issue or principle abstracted from that observation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistulae_Morales_ad_Lucilium
