Excerpt from Seneca's Morals: By Way of Abstract; To Which Is Added a Discourse, Under the Title of an After-Thought
Be with hypocrites. You will find in the holy scrip tures (as I have formerly observed) that God has given the grace of repentance to persecutors, idola ters, murderers, adulterers, etc., but I am mistaken if the whole Bible affords you any one instance of a converted hypocrite.

Excerpt from Seneca's Morals, by Way of Abstract: To Which Is Added a Discourse, Under the Title of an After-Thought
And again 3, Seneca says very well in his Morals They worship the images of the gods, says he, kneel to them, and adore them; they are hardly ever from them, either plying them with ofl'erings, or sacrifices, and yet after all this reverence to the image, they have no regard at all to the workman that made it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a compendium of the influential Roman statesman Seneca's writings on the subject of favors and obligations, explores the complex dynamics of gratitude and ingratitude. Written in the first century CE, the text remains relevant today, offering profound insights into the ethical dilemmas surrounding the giving and receiving of benefits. Seneca delves into the nature of true generosity, arguing that it is not merely the act of giving, but the intention behind it, that determines its value. He emphasizes the importance of discernment in choosing who to bestow favors upon, and encourages readers to consider the character and circumstances of the recipient. The book also explores the psychology of gratitude, examining the reasons why some people are more inclined to be thankful than others. Seneca argues that gratitude is a virtue that strengthens social bonds and brings happiness to both the giver and receiver. Overall, this book provides timeless wisdom on the art of giving and receiving favors, offering valuable lessons for navigating the complexities of human relationships.
