What is Bread and Circus you ask?

 

Seneca wrote this letter to describe how the ruling class distracts the masses with superficial pleasures and the entertainment of the arena games, keeping the citizens complacent while they profit. It's a metaphor for how society often feeds us distractions to prevent us from pursuing a life of purpose and meaningful exploration with our true selves.
