312. Make your life the best it can be given the materials you are given

from Stoic Meditations · host Massimo Pigliucci

Seneca brings up a parallel between the life of virtue and the art of a sculptor like Phidias. Just like a good sculptor will make the best art that the materials at his disposal permit, so we can be good human beings regardless of the specific circumstances of our lives.
