At most, he laughs at them.

Beyond minor to major disturbances, Seneca challenges

us to face what many consider the greatest misfortune of all: death. He not only
saw the acceptance of death as a necessary thing to conquer (as it’s an inevitable
part of life), but he also argued that if we can overcome death, then other
misfortunes would be easier to endure. He states: If we accept with an undisturbed
and tranquil mind that greatest terror of all, beyond which the angry laws and the
most cruel masters have nothing to threaten us with, in which fortune's dominion is
contained—if we know that death is not an evil, and therefore is not an injury
either, we shall much more easily endure the other things, such as losses, pains,
disgraces, changes of abode, bereavements, and partings, which do not overwhelm the
wise man even if they all befall him at once, much less does he grieve at them when
they assail him separately. And if he bears the injuries of fortune calmly, how
much more will he bear those of powerful men, whom he knows to be the hands of
fortune. End quote. So, what do you think about Seneca’s philosophy on being
undefeatable? Have you experienced moments of strength and unperturbedness akin to
what Seneca describes? Please let us know in the comment section. Thank you for
