Building upon many years of privately shared thoughts on the real benefits of Stoic Philosophy, Liam Milburn eventually published a selection of Stoic passages that had helped him to live well. They were accompanied by some of his own personal reflections. This blog hopes to continue his mission of encouraging the wisdom of Stoicism in the exercise of everyday life. All the reflections are taken from his notes, from late 1992 to early 2017.

Stoic Film: The Shawshank Redemption
By all means, define yourself by your supposed freedoms. Define yourself by what you have, or by what you earn, or by the power you possess.
Now consider the rest of us, the ones who don't matter. Frank Darabont made this film for us.
"There's something inside, they can't get to, they can't touch. It's yours."
