Reflections From The Context Of The Antigona Work

Reflections from the context of the Antigona work

Introduction.

The brevity of life was written by the philosopher Lucio Anneo Seneca. The majority of individuals complain about not having enough time and it is not that we have little time to live, but that we exhaust a lot of time we have in which it is not worth it. For Seneca Living it means rejoice who you are and do what you truly crave. Which means taking the time to study yourself. People should not expect the world to give them recognition, but should take importance to what they think of themselves. Leisure means knowing how to handle your time. Only the people who are dedicated to learning are enjoyed.

Developing.

The text disseminates the value of life and tells us that we must take advantage of all the moments without thinking how short is life. According to Seneca: we have little time, but we lose a lot. Life is long enough and, if all of it is reversed, it is granted with the necessary breadth for the achievement of most of things. The busy man does not live, since he pursues goals without meaning or without even knowing what goals are chasing. 

The human being must understand that the most important thing we have is life, so we must flood the life of living thoughts and forget that at some point we will not be in this world. In the brief we can understand why Seneca thinks that the busy man does not live, since he is oppressed by dark thoughts and feelings such as ambition, hate, disagreement among others.

Seneca exposed and quote: Long is life, if we know how to take advantage of it. 

One stops the insatiable greed, to another the careful diligence of useless works; One surrenders to the wine, another with idleness is hindered; To another fatigue, the pending ambition always of foreign opinions; Some leads for various lands and seas the clear greed of merchandise with gain hopes; To others, the military inclination torments, without ever being warned with the alien hazards or scattered with their own. For Seneca, this means that our emotions make it difficult for us to enjoy our existence.

Conclusions.

I agree with the teaching of the work, since we must focus on the things that make us grow as a person. People should give everything to make a life of which we consider ourselves happy. In conclusion, I think we should stop giving importance to things like social networks and the Internet and look forward to see the wonderful things that the world gives us, since life is based on a constant change, nothing is It remains forever and if we lose a special moment we will not be able to recover it.
