Summary

Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, this episode explores the loneliness suffered by the nameless monster. At one point or another, we've all shared in this loneliness. The monster's despair is born not of ugliness, but of being unloved and of watching the happiness of others, from which he fears himself hopelessly excluded. In the age of social media, his cry is ours. This meditation invites you to see through the illusion of exclusion and rediscover your place in joy.I hope you enjoy it!
