ACCEPTANCE OR RATIONALIZATION

Do we genuinely stop wanting what we cannot have, or do we convince ourselves we never wanted it? In this episode, we explore acceptance, rationalization, and how the human mind protects the ego when desire meets limitation. Sometimes, we don't stop wanting. We simply learn to call it worthless.
