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.

Skeletons Fighting Over a Hanged Man
James Ensor, Skeletons Fighting Over a Hanged Man (1891)
Critics debate whether this painting represents Ensor's mistresses arguing over him, or the battle between art critics about the merits of his work.
It could be both of these, but I ultimately see the pettiness and futility of all human conflict.
