How do you hold two contradictory truths?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi tackle the uncomfortable reality of holding contradictory truths, like loving someone who exhausts you. They explore why we struggle with this tension and how to move forward without suppressing parts of ourselves, offering practical steps to identify and acknowledge the hidden sides of our internal conflicts. 📖 Pay Attention by C.
