In today's episode, we're bringing you Letter 5 - On The Philosopher's Mean, from Moral Letters to Lucilius by Seneca. Seneca instructs Lucilius that he should find a happy medium between being one of the people and being a sage. An ideal philosopher lies between these two extremes where they retain the common touch but people can still admire him for the kind of character that he has.
