How He Cured the Worst Suffering He Ever Experienced (with James Aspey) (Ep.27)
Manage episode 434041627 series 2941284
James Aspey has been experiencing unbearable pain, related to serious injuries he’s suffered for over a decade. But he found a miraculous cure: getting off social media.
This conversation went in an unexpected direction. I wanted to have James on to discuss double standards in politics. Why are we so open to politicians ignoring the moral calamity of animal abuse? But the discussion turned to a more fundamental question: what is the true meaning of suffering in a world filled with so much violence and pain? And how do we create a world that provides peace and meaning to all sentient beings?
