Why Children Should Tell Our War Stories

from The Overexamined Life

Through the eyes of innocent children. only then do we remember how to feel horror again, unfiltered and unarmored. Sick of being ruled by your emotions?Join our Patreon for AD-FREE listening, bonus episodes, and mindfulness exercises that are actually fun: patreon.com/TOLclub Want to learn how to meditate?
