520    The first book in the essays of Seneca deals with good and
       evil. The dialogue is opened by Lucilius complaining with 
       his friend Seneca that adversities and misfortunes can 
       happen to good men too. How can this fit with the goodness
       connected with the design of providence? Seneca answers 
       according to the Stoic point of view. Nothing actually bad
       can happen to the good man (the wise man) because 
       opposites don't mix. What looks like adversity is in fact 
       a means by which the man exerts his virtues. As such, he 
       can come out of the ordeal stronger than before. So, in 
       perfect harmony with the Stoic philosophy, Seneca explains
       that the truly wise man can never surrender in the face of
       misfortunes but as he will always go through them and even
       if he should fall he will continue fighting on his knees. 
       The wise man understands destiny and its design, and 
       therefore he has nothing to fear from the future. Neither 
       does he hope for anything, because he already has 
       everything he needs - his good behaviour. The conclusion 
       is that actually nothing bad happens to good men. One just
       has to understand what bad means: bad for the wise man 
       would be to have bad thoughts, to commit crimes, to desire
       money or fame. Whoever behaves wisely already has all the 
       good possible. Translation by Aubrey Stewart and Produced
