Seneca and Lazarus- and explanation of Emotion

An Explanation of Emotion 
The Philosophy of Seneca 

Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher. The philosophy of Seneca is refreshingly simple, sensible and virtuous - an obvious contrast to most modern abstract philosophy. 

So how can we correct the current confusion and absurdity of our 'enlightened' post modern philosophy? To understand the truth about Reality by describing the One Thing that exists, Space, and its Properties as a Wave Medium, Marcus Aurelius wrote;

All things are woven together and the common bond is sacred, and scarcely one thing is foreign to another, for they have been arranged together in their places and together make the same ordered Universe. For there is one Universe out of all, one God through all, one substance and one law, one common Reason of all intelligent creatures and one Truth. Frequently consider the connection of all things in the universe.
We should not say ‘I am an Athenian’ or ‘I am a Roman’ but ‘I am a citizen of the Universe. (Marcus Aurelius, Meditations)

Lazarus Theory 

On the other hand the Lazarus Theory states that it builds on the Schacter-Singer theory, taking it to another level. It proposes that when an event occurs, a cognitive appraisal is made (either consciously or subconsciously), and based on the result of that appraisal, an emotion and physiological response follow.

So what does Seneca's theory and Lazarus theory have in common it has both the obvious controls, it gets what the procedure needs, and states the appraisals. I personally don't think they have a conflict between each other, but it just that it both has it 's own theories of knowledge about their philosophy. In my opinion I think that we should just live with how we feel about the emotions and situations.
