Why We Ask Why: A Journey Through Pain and Defiance
Episode Overview
Asking 'why' often expresses pain rather than seeking answers. Questioning life's hardships can be a form of defiance. Turning inward can offer solace more than external answers. Embracing powerlessness can lead to emotional healing. Transforming rage into life energy can help overcome trauma.
