About this listen
This episode examines a quietly radical insight: that much of our suffering comes not from pain itself, but from our attempt to escape it.
Drawing a line between Alan Watts’ observation and Stoic acceptance, we explore how resistance to reality keeps distress alive long after the moment has passed.
Epictetus helps sharpen the lesson by showing how misplacing “the good” in things we can’t control guarantees frustration and conflict.
