Guercino, Cupid Spurning Riches (c. 1654)
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.
I know this is supposed to be about love becoming overarching and more important than material wealth, but all I can think when I look at this is, "potty training toddler empties mom's purse"
ReplyDeleteIndeed! And note how the toddler also doesn't recognize any "value" to those silly pieces of paper and metal in the purse! Just don't give the toddler a bow and arrow . . .
DeleteYeah, I noticed the arrow was already bloody.
DeleteOr did he stab her lipstick...? 😬
