On Discursiveness in Reading (Seneca)
Seneca writes about the importance of digesting a few quality authors rather than restlessly seeking answers from everyone. He believes that one will often forget what they have shallowly learned but will integrate into themselves what is deeply absorbed. Then he agrees with Epicurus that it is wise to be contented with what one has rather than seek the things that one doesn’t have. A wise person knows what they need and is satisfied with what they have, aware of the impermanence of what they own.
