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.
So this is wildly off topic, but I've been really curious if you've seen 'A Hidden Life' yet, and what you thought about it if you had. Could you do a follow up piece on that?
No, we haven't seen it yet, as it would require a trip into the "big city" for us country bumpkins to find a theater showing it :-) It may have to wait until it appears on blu-ray, but some reflection will then surely follow!
I look forwards to that! I've heard fantastic things about it, but after a long day wrangling toddlers, it's hard to have any brainpower left to watch movies that actually make you think and reflect (not to mention getting out of the house to go see them in theatres). It took us a LONG time to finally sit down and watch "Silence", though I'm glad that we finally did.
