There Is an Opportunity for Kindness.

Whenever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

There’s a sense of comfort and belonging I get from quotes like this, especially since it comes from a couple thousand years ago. That the thought to “love thy neighbor” transcends religion and philosophy inspires me and brings me hope.

About the author

Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (/ˈsɛnɪkə/; c. 4 BC – AD 65), usually known as Seneca, was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and, in one work, satirist, from the post-Augustan age of Latin literature. As “a major philosophical figure of the Roman Imperial Period”, Seneca’s lasting contribution to philosophy has been to the school of Stoicism. His writing is highly accessible and was the subject of attention from the Renaissance onwards by writers such as Michel de Montaigne. He has been described as “a towering and controversial figure of antiquity” and “the world’s most interesting Stoic”.
