  Life in the ancient ages was not as “easy” as it has become in the last two hundred years! It was literally a very dangerous place to be, and you could get yourself in trouble, or even killed, quite easily and without much effort. The best two inventions ever created by humankind are laws and law enforcement. Without them, we would still be living in a jungle-like state where every one of us would do as he pleased and we would have no security whatsoever. Laws and law enforcement came as a necessary measure to protect each and every individual in society, and that is why people are so scared of wars and chaos, as if these two happen, both law and law enforcement would be suspended, well, at least in practice, which is what counts.

  On Benefits

  Lucius Annaeus Seneca

  The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as ‘On Benefits’. However, it is more usefully titled ‘On Favours’, because this is what it is essentially about: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions. Seneca is concerned with demonstrating that while such exchanges can be straightforward and beneficial to both parties, often there are pitfalls and hidden complications that, sooner or later, result in problems. Though some centuries later Shakespeare summed it up concisely with Polonius’s warning: ‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be,’ Seneca is well aware that in all levels and activities of society, benefits or favours play an undoubtedly crucial role. This was certainly true of Roman society, but little has changed since. Seneca deals with the subject in detail, considering the purposes of role of the giver, of which ‘kindness’, he says, is an important aspect – but not the only one by any means. Similarly, the role and attitude of the receiver, plays its part – and ‘gratitude’ is again only one response. Seneca’s background as a Stoic underpins his approach, so he warns against the inappropriate giving and receiving of benefits, which extend far beyond just material goods: it includes influence, wives, patronage and all manner of vice and immorality. In short, Seneca points out that the giving and receiving of favours can be, and often is a pernicious and dangerous affair, resulting in later disaster. Something to be exercised with caution.

  Life as a Silent Gen - Stories...

  The Silent Generation, born between the mid-1920s and the early 1940s, is often characterized by its quiet strength and resilience. Unlike the more outspoken Baby Boomers or the politically vocal Millennials, members of this generation are sometimes referred to as the “silent” because they were raised in an era where conformity and restraint were the societal norms. Their lives unfolded during some of the most transformative and tumultuous events of the 20th century, including the Great Depression, World War II, and the early stages of the Cold War. 
  Growing up in the midst of economic hardship, many from the Silent Generation experienced a world of scarcity, hard work, and sacrifice. The Great Depression shaped their values, instilling a sense of frugality, a strong work ethic, and an appreciation for the basics of life. These formative experiences molded a generation that was deeply loyal, resourceful, and able to persevere through difficult circumstances. As children, they witnessed the turmoil of the 1930s, and as young adults, they were called upon to contribute to the war effort during World War II. 
  Yet, despite the challenges they faced, the Silent Generation was also a time of growth and progress. It was a generation that saw the advent of many technological and social changes, although their response to these innovations was often more cautious compared to younger generations. They witnessed the rise of television, the automobile culture, and, later, the early days of the space race and computing. Their era was also one of profound social change, as the civil rights movement and the women’s liberation movement began to take root, though many from the Silent Generation remained resistant to these shifts.
