Solo episode exploring the act of finding meaning in suffering. Kavin highlights a few stories of inspirational people using their struggle as raw material to build something powerful and influences people for good.
He talks about Mother Theresa and the discovery of her journals post mortem that revealed a dark shadow that loomed over her throughout her life, which just adds power and credibility to the great work she did during her life despite the deep pain and loneliness she often felt.
Immaculée Ilibagiza, a Rwandan genocide survivor, Victor Frankl, a holocaust survivor and author of Man's Search for Meaning, Gandhi, and MMA fighter Israel Adesanya are more of the examples discussed in the episode of inspiring people that understood that while they can't always control their situation, they can always control their attitude and reaction towards any circumstances.
Kavin finishes by discussing a common Stoic Philosophy principle that all things and misfortunes happen to us for a reason and can be used as the materials that shape our character, how we view the world and how we treat other people.
