Philosophical Truce – 18th April 2026

All is a contradiction,
a place where opposites meet;
avoiding confrontation
in a war where words compete.

Reading many philosophical texts, which contradict each other and often themselves. This doesn’t render them useless but keeps us in balance and open-minded to all ideas.

Shared with GloPoWriMo 2026 Day 17:
Write a poem in which you respond to a favourite poem by another poet.
While this is not a response to a specific poem, it is a response to the poetry of the philosophers.

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Opinions Are Like…

Think about the world around you
And the opinions you pile on top
Dogma, expectation or ignorance
Weed them out until they stop
