LGF Ep. 299: Your Duty to Not Leave a Mess Behind and the Kintsugi Philosophy
Our responsibility to loved ones to put our affairs in order and not leave messes behind. How people suffering from anxiety often use control to feel safe, why aging can be especially difficult for them, and the means to deal with them and ease their transition. How keeping our elderly loved ones engaged with activities, relationships, and things to look forward brings joy to their later years. How Saint Josaphat, a 17th-century bishop, was killed amid efforts to reconcile divided two different Christian communities—and how centuries of religious conflict remind us of the pointless yet tragic consequences of it. How the Japanese art of kintsugi, repairing broken pottery with gold, offers a powerful lesson about embracing our imperfections rather than hiding them: how the cracks, scars, failures, and hardships of our lives can become part of what makes us stronger and more beautiful. And how the holidays seem to arrive faster every year. Stay Lonely - Be Happy. Bye, betches.
