Quote of the Day: Long before modern conversations about anxiety, overthinking and emotional burnout, Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger was already examining the human tendency to suffer twice, once in imagination and again in reality.

Across centuries, his reflections continue to resonate because they confront a timeless habit: the way people exhaust themselves worrying about disasters that may never happen at all.
