Title: Episode 18: Why Choose Truth | K.G.I. Podcast

Why would anyone choose the harder path when the easier one is right there? Lies are sweet. Truth is uncomfortable. And yet some people choose to suffer for the truth, sometimes to die for it. In this episode I wrestle with the question and find the reframe that dissolves it: the choice isn't between suffering and not-suffering — that choice doesn't exist. The choice is what you suffer for. I bring in Nietzsche's if you know why, you can handle any how, the image of Jesus carrying the cross, and the argument that only weak people can be incredibly evil because internal locus of control is also moral protection. The closer: meaning isn't found by avoiding the burden. It's found by choosing one worth carrying.My book Mythos: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX2ZN1TKMy Blog www.kirillkhrestinin.com
