A MEDITATION

“ The wise man lacks nothing, but needs many things; the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing — for he knows not how to use anything — yet lacks everything.

— Chrysippus

Fragment, in Seneca Letters 9.14

A reflection

The wise person isn't self-sufficient — they just use every resource well. The fool has every tool and no idea how to hold one. Capability is measured in use, not possession.
