About this episode
By repeatedly telling ourselves negative stories we add a second layer of suffering to whatever sorrow we happen to encounter.
Due to our close proximity to them, instead of detaching from the stories, we end up detached from reality.
If we are to see these stories for what they really are we must zoom out from them.
