In this episode, we explore why we sometimes lie to ourselves, whether to fit in, avoid conflict, or justify our actions. While small lies can protect us, they often accumulate, causing us to lose sight of who we truly are. We discuss the challenges of balancing strong desires with weak willpower and the struggles that come with the "illusion of freedom"—having too many choices that lead to confusion and self-doubt. Lastly, we challenge the belief that every moment must be fulfilling, embracing the value of stillness and imperfection as pathways to an authentic and peaceful life.
