In For the Firmness of the Wise Guy Seneca argues that Stoicism isn’t as harsh since it initial appears. Recalling the figure of Cato younger Seneca argues that Cato as a wise person suffered neither injury nor insult. Although Serenus items to this paradox, Seneca provides further analogies to emphasize the impervious character of the sensible person. In chapter 5 Seneca distinguishes between contumelia (insults) and iniuria (accidental injuries). All of those other treatise to section 19 includes discussions on the type of both designs, showing how the smart person is immune from both insults and accidental injuries. Seneca concludes the treatise praising the idea of the smart person and will be offering useful advice for all those who are imperfect
