Episode 201: Life is a mystery to be experienced

from PsycHacks · host Orion Taraban

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be experienced. One of the corollaries of this position is that reducing reality to the rationally comprehensible -- while potentially intellectually comforting -- diminishes the experience of that reality. The fact of the matter is that the universe has no obligation to "make sense" to us, and certain things must just be accepted for what they are. #life #mystery #wisdom
