The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holidayby Parker on Twos"Nothing will ever befall me that I will receive with gloom or a bad disposition. I will pay my taxes gladly. Now, all the things which cause complaint or dread are like the taxes of life—things from which, my dear Lucilius, you should never hope for exemption or seek escape." - SenecaIncome taxes are not the only taxes you pay in life. They are just the financial form. Everything we do has a toll attached to it. Waiting around is a tax on traveling. Rumors and gossip are the taxes that come from acquiring a pubic persona. And on and on.There are many forms of taxes in life. You can argue with them, you can go to great lengths to evade them, or you can simply pay them and enjoy the fruits of what you get to keep.
