On Differentiating Pain and Suffering (Video Reflection on April 2021)
Hey patrons,
A new video reflection is up! This one is on the cheery topic of pain and suffering, and the way I differentiate the two things. As it turns out, it’s not a straightforward topic (is it ever?), so I pull a bunch of threads to get to the core takeaways here.
I go over pain thresholds, Stoicism, Buddhism, and the reframing of life events (along with the limitations of this approach). As always, if you have any thoughts/comments, feel free to share them here.
I will be sending a poll in the next post for our patron hangout, so please be on the look out for that!
