Quote by Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both this is an observation of the Middle Way.
Summary
The quote emphasizes the difference in perception between ignorant and wise individuals when it comes to understanding life. Ignorant people tend to view life as a simple dichotomy of either existing or not existing. In contrast, wise individuals understand that life cannot be limited to this binary perspective. They recognize that there is something greater that exists beyond the concepts of both existence and non-existence, something that transcends these conventional notions. This concept of perceiving life beyond the extremes is related to the Middle Way philosophy, which advocates for finding balance and avoiding extreme positions.
