and yet, imho Seneca is overrated. He writes beautifully and his advices are gems. But actually he comes from a rich family and never had to go through real hardship.
This contrasts a lot with Epictetus, who was a slave, and with Marcus Aurelius, who had to show up every day to rule an empire. Their lives were consistent with their talk.
