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 Conversations 9
"Stoicism is sort of okay, I guess, I like some of what Marcus Aurelius says, but other things just don't appeal to me. I don't like the God shit. I haven't read much Seneca, because he wrote so many books, and I really don't have the time to read all that much. Epictetus feels really mean and judgmental to me, so what he says is sort of offensive."
"You're telling me what you like and dislike. Does whether something is true or false ever come into it?"
"What's the difference?"
