► Tao Of Seneca Letter 7 - On Crowds ◄

"Do you ask me what you should regard as especially to be avoided?

I say, crowds; for as yet you cannot trust yourself to them with safety.

I shall admit my own weakness, at any rate; for I never bring back home the same character that I took abroad with me.

Something of that which I have forced to be calm within me is disturbed; some of the foes that I have routed return again. Just as the sick man, who has been weak for a long time, is in such a condition that he cannot be taken out of the house without suffering a relapse, so we ourselves are affected when our souls are recovering from a lingering disease.

To consort with the crowd is harmful; there is no person who does not make some vice attractive to us, or stamp it upon us, or taint us unconsciously therewith. Certainly, the greater the mob with which we mingle, the greater the danger.

But nothing is so damaging to good character as the habit of lounging at the games; for then it is that vice steals subtly upon one through the avenue of pleasure.

What do you think I mean?

I mean that I come home more greedy, more ambitious, more voluptuous, and even more cruel and inhuman, because I have been among human beings. By chance I attended a mid-day exhibition, expecting some fun, wit, and relaxation, – an exhibition at which men’s eyes have respite from the slaughter of their fellow-men. But it was quite the reverse.

The previous combats were the essence of compassion; but now all the trifling is put aside and it is pure murder. The men have no defensive armor They are exposed to blows at all points, and no one ever strikes in vain."

Letter 7 is all about talking about crowds.

Do you think that you are the same person when by yourself and when you're on crowds?

You're completely wrong.

In today's letter, Seneca talks about crowds and how it can directly affect yourself and your actions.

Crowds can definitely deeply affect how you behave and your actions...
