The deserving means how can I be loving? Instead of having a friend, what does it mean for me to be a friend, to be friendly, to be nonjudgmental, to be safe for others to approach?
Imagine juggling the demands of modern life while trying to find inner peace. In this episode of 'Kind Mind', Michael Todd Fink dives into the timeless debate of 'To Have or To Be', inspired by Erich Fromm's groundbreaking work. Fink, a multifaceted artist and wellness consultant, examines how our materialistic society shapes our mental and physical well-being. Drawing from Fromm's ideas and his own experiences, he invites listeners to ponder the balance between accumulating possessions and simply being.
The discussion takes a fascinating turn with references to Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa and indigenous perspectives on land and ecology. By contrasting rigid modern boundaries with fluid, community-based approaches, Fink offers a fresh perspective on living a balanced life. Whether you're overwhelmed by the weight of your belongings or seeking deeper meaning in everyday existence, this episode is a thought-provoking guide to finding harmony in a world obsessed with 'having'.
