Seneca redefines wealth from external accumulation to internal satisfaction, from having more to wanting less. This insight reveals two paths to feeling rich: acquire everything we want (impossible and exhausting) or reduce our wants to what we already have (achievable and peaceful). The wealthy person, in Seneca's view, is not necessarily someone with vast possessions but someone who feels satisfied with what they have. This doesn't advocate for poverty or lack of ambition, but suggests that our sense of abundance should come from gratitude and contentment rather than constant acquisition.
