Steve-o-the-wisp!

After 2000 years, I'm reading Seneca! What he wrote then is as accurate today as it ever was.

To quote one excerpt from his "On the Shortness of Life,"

How many will avoid going out through a hall crowded with dependants, and escape through a secret door - as if it were not even more discourteous to deceive callers than to exclude them.

Sound familiar? How does he remain anonymous? He is an economist and is very economical with his time facing the public. Ducking out back doors to avoid questions is his forte. Seneca would have told him he will have to face the music, eventually!
