Horace's Ethical View

"What was Horace's concept of personal ethical cause and effect?" 


     Horace's concept of ethical cause and effect was not half bad.  Using his Stoic view of the world he said to be much like the ant.  The ant stores food for the winter and eats it during the colder months in order to stay alive.  The little creature does not hoard the crumbs until she dies having not even touched them.  He said that people should also not hoard money or food.  When you die, an heir of yours may come into possession of it and use it anyways.
