How do you know when patience has become avoidance?

Three philosophers—Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi—debate whether your patience is genuine preparation or elaborate avoidance, and why the difference matters more than you want to admit. You'll learn to recognize the specific textures of real waiting versus the kind that just accumulates weight, and you'll get a single, honest question that reveals which one you've actually been doing. The episode ends with something harder than understanding: what to do now that you know.📖 Pay Attention by C.
