:''For the Latin song, see the article "De Brevitate Vitae".'' ''De Brevitate Vitae'' (frequently referred to as ''On the Shortness of Life'' in English) is a moral essay written by Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher, to his friend Paulinus. The philosopher brings up many Stoic principles on the nature of time, namely that men waste much of it in meaningless pursuits. According to the essay, nature gives man enough time to do what is really important and the individual must allot it properly. In general, time can be best used in the study of philosophy, according to Seneca. == External links == * * *(On the Shortness of Life ) translated by John W.
